St. Hallett Faith Shiraz

The St. Hallett winery resides in the Barossa region in Australia and focuses on producing wines from this region.  They are best known for their Shiraz, of which they release a few different lines.  The Faith Shiraz is their most affordable Shiraz—other than a Shiraz Grenache blend they offer.

The winery was established in 1944 and was named after an early surveyor of Southern Australia.  In 2004, St. Hallett was named “Winery of the Year” by Wine and Spirits magazine.

Faith is a big, fruit-filled Shiraz.  If you’re a fan of fruit-forward Shiraz, you may like this one.  The nose is filled with jammy plum, blackberry and blueberry.  A little licorice, cocoa and black pepper to add complexity to the bouquet.  The palate is jammy, with loads of blueberry, blackberry and black cherry.  The finish continues the fruit theme, but is a little short.  All told, this is a big and enjoyable wine.
