Australia tasting notes

May 2019

Find our favorite tasted wines in each vineyard. Of course it’s very subjective, and everyone has its own preferences. It also depends on the moment of the day, the food you eat with, the people sharing this special moment and many other things! 

St Hallett

Blackwell Shiraz, 2015

We loved this big wine, representative of Barossa style Shiraz with chocolate, plum and spices notes on the nose. It’s full bodied, well balanced with ripe tannins and a dense mouthfeel!

We enjoyed the sweet, exotic fragrance of honeysuckle and stone-fruits coming from the fermentation on lees and giving it complexity. It also has a great weight and depth with a crisp acid and long finish.
