Current Vintage: 2019 Producer: Accolade Wines Grape Variety: Shiraz/Syrah Agent: Accolade Wines Vinification Details: The St Hallett winemaking philosophy is relatively simple minimum intervention and maximum attention. All Shiraz vineyards are crushed and fermented separately. The Shiraz vineyards destined for this wine were fermented between 6 and 8 days at 22 to 24 degrees. Post fermentation the wine was matured in American and French Oak for 9 months before being blended and bottled. History: St Hallett is one of the founding wineries of the region, established by the Lindner family in 1944, its wines epitomise the Barossa. The winery has achieved iconic status and a worldwide reputation for Shiraz by producing wines which reflect the spectrum and potential of the grape in this region. Regional Information: Good winter rains in July and August preceded a warm and dry spring with no frosts or storms. Budburst and shoot growth were strong with average bunch numbers showing across most varieties, followed by ideal weather through flowering which set up good crop potential. Ripening was very steadily paced throughout which made for an accommodating vintage. Barossa Valley Shiraz yields were slightly higher than average, and all the wines show intense colour and flavour with robust tannins.
