ST HALLETT FAITH SHIRAZ 2023

Classic Barossa Shiraz that you can always have faith in what it delivers… a full bodied and beautifully balanced Barossa experience with a brightness of fruit with many underlying layers, rich tannins and fantastic length. 

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Faith Shiraz is a vibrant and expressive example of Barossa Shiraz. An accessible, juicy and fruit driven wine, Faith's vibrant yet dense purple hue hints at the generosity of fruit within. The bouquet is lifted with bright cherry fruit characters and a hint of chocolate with enticing spice notes.This is followed by dark berry fruits that combine with a lively palate entwined with pepper spices and chocolate tones. A long savoury finish is coated in soft tannins to complete this rich and generous palate."

4 ½ Stars & Top 10, Cuisine Australian Shiraz Tasting, June 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Youthful yet dark and brooding with aromas of stewed plums and licorice on the nose. The palate is bold with dark- fruit sweetness and flavours of bitter dark chocolate with an acid profile that helps add freshness amidst the density."

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, February 2021 (2019 Vintage)
"Soft and syrupy. Sweet and delicious. Fresh to go with it. This is a medium-weight red that feels eager-to-please at every step. There’s nothing complex about it but it drinks easily and well. A clove-like aftertaste is an attractive complement to the sweet fruit of the palate."

4 ½ Stars, Top 10 & Best Buy, Cuisine Shiraz Tasting, August 2020 (2018 Vintage)
"Bright and fresh yet rich and brooding, Faith is the hallowed product of beloved old Barossan vines. Red fruit, plums and dark berries combine amid the generous and complex palate. Pepper spice combines with baking spice complimenting the ripe fruit and rich tannins. Unashamedly Barossa and justifiably proud."

NZIWS (2016 Vintage)
"It's saturated with blackberry, plum jam, smoky bacon and spicy oak characters, backed by an impressively weighted palate that's energetic and satisfying."

Sue Courtney, wineoftheweek.com (2016 Vintage)
"Deep purple in the glass, inky and intense. Ripe red and black berries and leather fill the bouquet that's laced with chocolate and woody spices and it's stellar and structured in the palate with reasonably firm tannins that have a supple velvet-coated edge. The mouthfilling flavours exude smoky oak, hints of bacon, leather, spices and an amalgam of ripe berry fruit including plums, mulberries and cherries, and the finish is long and satisfying."
