Tasting Notes

St Hallett Faith is a vibrant and expressive example of Barossan Shiraz. Accessible & fruit driven, Faith's vibrant yet dense purple hue hints at the generosity of fruit within. The wine derives exuberant raspberry, cherry and spice flavours from vineyards in the southern part of the Barossa Valley and pepper from its Eden Valley component.

Vinification Details.

The fruit are immediately crushed into stainless steel fermenters. Fermentation occurs over a 6 -8 day period, at 22-24C with 4 pump over per day. Maturation in a combination of new, 1,2 & 3 year old French & American oak barrels for 12-16 months befor blending and bottling.

Producer Information

This great Barossa winery goes from strength to strength. Toby Barlow, fresh from his stunning successes at Mitchelton in Victoria, has taken over where Matt Gant left off, and ensures that St Hallett remains one of the most forward looking wineries in Australia. It isn't just Shiraz that rocks their world, and the Poacher's Blend white (the first vintage was made from grapes 'stolen' in lieu of an unpaid bill!) is as racy and fresh as anything in Australia.

Regional info.

Grapes for the Faith Shiraz are sourced from vineyards across the Barossa, including Lyndoch in the south to Eden Valley in the west, providing a cross section of flavours which arise from the differences in climate and soils.
