Winery & Vintage Info
Grapes for St Hallett Garden of Eden Shiraz 2018 are sourced exclusively from the high elevation Eden Valley. This results in pretty red fruit characters, spice and fine tannin structure. This region of Barossa has always been important for St Hallett and has contributed to most vintages of the flagship Old Block Shiraz.
Reflecting on the 2018 vintage, good winter rains in July and August preceded a warm and dry spring. The growing season was very dry from mid-November with very few rain events. Vintage time for St Hallett was similar to more recent vintages with steady ripening throughout the season. Overall a very dry growing season with a warm spring, occasionally hot summer, a perfect autumn and slightly below average crops delivered densely flavoured wines.
The St Hallett winemaking philosophy is about focusing on the fruit and it’s provenance. Simply minimal intervention and maximum attention. We tailor our winemaking to the individual parcel using the years of accumulated knowledge we have of these vineyards and their individual characters. The pump over regime and temperature of the ferment varies across the blocks and can also change with the vintage conditions. Times on skins is typically in the range of 8-12 days and ferment temperatures range from 20-30 degrees Celsius. Once the wine achieves balance on tasting, it is pressed off skins and goes directly to barrel where it will age for 12-18 months. We match barrels from a number of cooperages and ages to each parcel. We are looking for balance and flavour integration in the wines before we blend them together to create the Blackwell Barossa Shiraz style. Winery Notes
