New St Hallet offering - Medium to full, plum/raspberry with ripe tannin giving it substance. An easy crowd pleaser. Street price @ $20/bottle.

🍷 New Release 🍷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This St Hallett Wines 2017 ‘Blockhead’ Grenache & Shiraz blend hails from South Australia’s #BarossaValley wine region. It’s part of a new range from St Hallett which only launched in September 2018. The range also includes a 100% Shiraz (a few tasting notes back) and a Shiraz & Cabernet blend.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“The new sub-range stems from the original European settlers in the Barossa township of #Tanunda where #StHallett winery resides, who were known as Blockheads. The origin of the ‘Blockhead’ name is most commonly attributed to their stoic, square-jawed character and dedication to the land. The name has transcended the generations and is worn as a badge of honour at St Hallett.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All 3 wines in the range retail for $27.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I found this Grenache & Shiraz blend an enticing red-purple colour in the glass with fresh raspberries, dark melted chocolate and smooth oak on the nose. Juicy plums and cherries come through on the mouth with a lick of spice and velvety tannins. Very easy to consume!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for the delicious sample guys!
