Excellent with Asian style dishes, shellfish with lemon based sauces and perfect with oysters.
Drink while young, fresh and crisp or has the potential for cellaring up to and beyond 10 years. Thre freshness of its youth is maintained excellently under screw cap.

Wine Spectator
Dry, but soft in texture, with ripe pear, melon and tart tangerine flavors that don't quit as the tangy finish sails on. Has plenty of room to grow. Drink now through 2017.

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.
