2013 St Hallett Old Block Shiraz 750ml

The 2013 St Hallett Old Block Shiraz is a distinguished expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz, showcasing the depth, concentration and elegance of some of Australia's most treasured old-vine vineyards. As the flagship wine of St Hallett, Old Block has earned an enduring reputation for its rich fruit character, refined structure and impressive ageing potential.

Established in 1944, St Hallett is one of the Barossa's most respected wineries, renowned for its dedication to Shiraz and the preservation of historic vineyards. Old Block represents the pinnacle of the winery's portfolio, drawing on carefully selected parcels of mature vines to create a wine of exceptional complexity and regional character.

The 2013 vintage produced a powerful and concentrated expression of Barossa Shiraz, combining generous fruit richness with structure and balance.

The bouquet reveals layers of blackberry, blackcurrant, dark plum and ripe cherry, complemented by liquorice, dark chocolate, black pepper and warm baking spices. With more than a decade of bottle maturation, the wine may also display developing notes of cedar, leather, tobacco and earthy savouriness.

The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, delivering concentrated dark berry fruit, plum and mocha supported by fine, mature tannins. Integrated oak adds subtle notes of vanilla, cedar and spice, while balanced acidity maintains freshness and definition.

The finish is long, complex and satisfying, with lingering dark fruit, savoury spice and elegant earthy undertones.

Now entering a rewarding stage of maturity, the 2013 St Hallett Old Block Shiraz offers an excellent opportunity to experience a classic Barossa icon with the added complexity of bottle age. A compelling choice for collectors and enthusiasts of mature Australian Shiraz.
