St Hallett Gamekeepers Barossa SGT 2018 (Australia)

Description

• Ripe berries
• Bright red fruit
• Rose petal
• Supple tannins

Ripe red berry fruits and spice with a lift of floral notes are prominent on the nose. A seamless integration highlighting the best attributes from each variety in this red blend. A spectrum of bright red fruits and supple tannin from the Shiraz combines with the generous juicy raspberry flavours of the Grenache. Touriga Nacional complements perfectly with rose petal and floral-like spice.

Gamekeepers Shiraz (53%), Grenache (38%) & Touriga (9%) parcels are sourced from mostly southern Barossa Valley, with red brown loam over shale soils, perfect for highlighting fresh varietal characters.

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.
