St. Hallett Old Block Shiraz 1997
Syrah/Shiraz
from Barossa Valley, Australia
winemaker's notes:
Using traditional open top fermenters each parcel of fruit from the old blocks is fermented seperately and then matured in American oak for two and a half years. Only the very best parcels are then selected for the final blend, and following assemblage the wine is then matured for a further twelve months in bottle prior to release. This yields a full-flavoured, mouthfilling chocolatey Shiraz, with a soft and velvety finish: A representative of the True and Classic Barossa style.
