Product Description
This is the full bodied, flavour packed Shiraz which made Barossa famous. Named after Senior Winemaker Stuart Blackwell, it’s full of dark fruits with brooding intensity. Each parcel of Shiraz is individually matched to one of a selection of American oak barrels in which the wine spends two years maturing and gaining considerable texture and power prior to release.

Product details
St. Hallett Blackwell Shiraz
As St Hallett's reserve Shiraz, Blackwell is big and bold. It exudes all the power and brooding density that the Barossa has to offer. It's all about optimum power and concentration of fruit flavour.
Winemaking
Grapes were harvested from February to April. The Blackwell Shiraz parcels are matured in a combination of new, one and two year old American oak for 20 months. The wine is coarse filtered into bottle to avoid stripping of flavour and colour.
Food Matching
Excellent with any cut of red meat including a juicy rib-eye steak on the bone. A wine with the backbone to go well with wintry style dishes and spicy, full flavoured meats such as tender beef in blackbean sauce. After dinner, serve with an aged hard, bitey cheese such as a vintage cheddar.
