Barossa Valley Wine Tasting
Friday 20 June 2025
The Barossa Valley is a renowned wine region in South Australia, located about an hour's drive northeast of Adelaide. It's famous for its premium wines, particularly Shiraz, and boasts over 150 wineries and 80 cellar doors, making it a popular destination for wine enthusiasts and tourists.
This Friday we will showcase St. Hallett wines which was established in 1944 by the Lindner Family, St Hallett represents the very spirit and soul of winemaking in the Barossa. Over this time, it has grown and changed and reinvented itself to achieve a rare distinction as one of Australia’s most respected wine brands.
For most of that time, it was owned, or part-owned, by one family, the pioneering Lindners, who arrived in the Barossa from Silesia in 1838. Through grim determination, heartbreak and near financial collapse, the Lindner family managed to make a meagre living – initially from ports and sherries and marsala – in their galvo shed in the middle of the Barossa.
More than 70 years from these humble beginnings, St Hallett has established a reputation for making wines with exceptional quality and character.
A Liqueur Muscat (or, to give it its correct name, Muscat) is a fortified wine made in Australia from the Muscat à Petits Grains Rouge (known locally as Brown Muscat). The wine is sweet, dark, highly alcoholic Australian wine that has some similarities to Madeira and Malaga.
The Grant Burge 10 Year Old Muscat is a deep amber colour with a slight rancio hue, which is also evident on the nose. Caramel aromas along with Muscat raisined fruit suggest what's to
come on the palate, which is generous and silky. Flavours of baked ginger biscuits, dates and a complex nuttiness is balanced with a clean, fresh finish which leaves a lasting impression.
As the winter sets in we start with a couple of classic whites from Torbreck and Yalumba and then a vertical climb up the St Hallett family of Shiraz closing with a Aged Muscat a little cheese to accompany and no doubt a mystery from the cellar.
So dig out your winter woolies and come along, taste these wines, chat with your neighbours in what will be another enjoyable night in our tasting room.
