Buy OnlineNamed after St Hallett stalwart, Stuart Blackwell, this reserve Shiraz, is big and bold. It exudes all the power and brooding density that the Barossa has to offer.
Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"A classic Barossa Shiraz which can be savoured now and will continue to build complexity whilst carefully cellared. Fruit for the Blackwell Shiraz is sourced predominately from Northern Barossa from vineyards in the parishes of Ebenezer, Greenock and Moppa Hills.
Dark red colour with purple hues. An expressive bouquet brimming with layers of blackberry tart, black cherry, cacao nibs and sweet spice providing an aromatic lift. Full bodied and complex on the palate, expressing layers of concentrated blood plum and black cherry, combined with undertones of cocoa, nutmeg and vanilla bean all culminating in a harmonious structure of dense savoury tannins. A balanced wine with a certain vitality that will allow it to age gracefully over many years."
5 Stars & 95/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review (2020 Vintage)
"Impenetrable core to a deeply-stained ruby-red rim. Mulberry, ironstone and dark chocolate aromatics. Rich dense and weighty, a powerhouse shiraz that's loaded with dark berry fruit and layered complexity of savoury graphite and mocha notes. Tannins are powerful but wrapped in velvet, so the palate glides with great persistence to the drying finish. Many years of enjoyment will be found here and whilst not cheap it offers great value."
92/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, November 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"This release of St Hallett’s renowned Blackwell shiraz is robust and full-bodied but not overblown. I’d call it measured but the measuring device is a large one. Coal, blackcurrant jelly, clove and toast flavours with sweeter plum-like characters through the middle, and a slightly burnt, woodsy element to the edges. Maybe it lacks some highlights but it’s a good, solid release."
