Winemaker Notes
A dry, crisp and refreshing Riesling such as this goes best with dishes that have bold flavors complemented by zest! Fresh oysters, sashimi, lamb korma and Thai beef salad all work well. Great with creamy cheeses such as brie. Wash down crisp fish & chips with a glass of this Riesling while watching the waves break.

This Riesling feels a little older than it is, but it's nevertheless a tasty drop. Notes of petrol, honey, lime blossom and red-apple skins lead into a palate that's bright and citrusy with chalky texture and fantastic acidity. It should keep aging with grace through 2025.

In the heart of the Barossa Valley, Australia's best known wine region, lies St Hallett, one of the country's premier wine producers. Established by the Lindner Family in 1944, for many years St Hallett's winemaking focus was, like many local wineries, on producing fortified wines. However, during the seventies and eighties, St Hallett turned to explore the true potential of the Barossa through premium table wines. This has resulted in St Hallett's status as one of Australia’s best producers.
St Hallett is renowned for crafting full-flavored, textured wines entirely from Barossa Valley fruit and is credited with producing benchmark wines of the region such as the iconic St Hallett Old Block Shiraz, made from vines aged up to 100 years old.
Winemaker and General Manager, Stuart Blackwell spearheaded the commissioning of the new winemaking facilities in 1988 and the installation of some of the world's most advanced fruit processing and handling equipment. Despite this modern approach, traditional winemaking techniques prevail at St Hallett as they are best suited to the winery's classic style.
