St Hallett Black Clay Shiraz 2024 is a benchmark expression of the Barossa Valley — a wine of pronounced dark berry character, luxurious concentration, and sophisticated tannins that create perfect equilibrium throughout the tasting experience. From a winery established in 1944 by the pioneering Lindner family, who arrived in the Barossa from Silesia in 1838, St Hallett has built a deep understanding of the rich tapestry of Barossa vineyard sites, climates, and old vines — particularly Shiraz — that few producers can match. Aromatic dark berries and subtle mocha on the nose, blackberries and plums on the palate, and the structured, textured depth that the Barossa’s finest old vine fruit delivers.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep, concentrated ruby-red with purple hues — the rich, vibrant colour of a Barossa Valley Shiraz of genuine concentration and depth, with the intensity that St Hallett’s carefully selected old vine parcels and tailored fermentation and maturation deliver.
Aroma
Pronounced dark berry notes complemented by subtle mocha undertones — an aromatic profile of genuine complexity and Barossa character, with the depth and richness that the region’s finest Shiraz fruit consistently delivers.
Palate
Luxurious concentration of dark fruit — blackberries and plums lead through a full-bodied palate structured by sophisticated tannins that create perfect equilibrium. Rich, textured, and deeply satisfying, with the depth and diversity of Barossa Shiraz expressed with clarity and precision.
Pairs With
St Hallett Black Clay Shiraz 2024 pairs magnificently with slow-braised lamb shoulder, beef short rib, venison, aged hard cheeses, and rich mushroom dishes — a structured, concentrated Barossa Shiraz equally rewarding now and with cellaring.
