Winery & Vintage Info
With every vintage St Hallett's winemaking team learn more about the influence of the site on the flavour and quality of the wines.
St Hallett Gamekeeper’s range acknowledges the role of the Gamekeeper in maintaining a healthy balance to a property’s wildlife. This delicious blend of Shiraz and Grenache is complemented with a small portion of Touriga Nacional, lifting the floral and spice characters of the wine and ensuring an approachable and delicious red wine perfect for matching with food such as game meat like duck or charcuterie.
Good winter rains in July and August preceded a warm and dry spring with no frosts or storms. Budburst and shoot growth were strong with average bunch numbers showing across most varieties, followed by ideal weather through flowering which set-up good crop potential. Ripening was very steadily paced throughout which made for an accommodating vintage and the ability to pick everything exactly when we wanted it.
2018 vintage Gamekeeper’s consists of Shiraz (65%), Grenache (26%) & Touriga (9%) parcels are sourced from mostly southern Barossa Valley, with red brown loam over shale soils, perfect for highlighting fresh varietal characters.
The St Hallett winemaking philosophy is relatively simple - minimum intervention and maximum attention. All varietal parcels are crushed and fermented separately, between 6 and 8 days at 22 to 24 degrees. Post fermentation the wine was matured in stainless steel tanks, with a portion of the Shiraz kept on yeast lees to add complexity and texture, prior to being blended and bottled. Winery Notes
