St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz is a premium Barossa Valley red from a respected producer. It delivers concentrated dark fruit, with notes of chocolate, espresso, and spice, supported by refined oak and firm yet approachable tannins. Built for aging yet enjoyable on release, it pairs well with grilled meats, smoky barbecue, and aged cheeses; decanting 30–60 minutes helps release its complexity. Tasting notes: Aroma: blackberries, dark plum, licorice, espresso, and vanilla/oak. Palate: full-bodied and plush, with a core of blackberry and plum, layered notes of cocoa and roasted coffee, integrated oak, and well-knit, fine-grained tannins; balanced acidity. Finish: long and spicy, with pepper, cocoa, and a touch of smoke.
