Michael Hall Stonewall Road Shiraz

Imagine Barossa Shiraz with all the depth and richness, but with a twist of elegance. This beauty hails from the Stonewell Road vineyard, where the soils are rich in ironstone and the cool, elevated climate creates a perfect environment for intense, concentrated fruit. The 2022 vintage stands out with its lower rainfall and cool temperatures, which gave the vines a chance to focus on smaller, more concentrated berries. Wild-fermented with a mix of whole bunches and destemmed fruit, it was aged in French oak for 20 months, adding structure without overpowering the vibrant fruit. Expect dark, brooding notes of plum, blackberry, and a hint of spice, with tannins that provide shape and balance without taking over. There’s a freshness here, a certain lift, that keeps things feeling light on their feet. Perfect for Barossa lovers and anyone who appreciates Shiraz with finesse.
