Established in 1944 by the Linder 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 Australias 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.
Warmth, honesty and integrity are a way of life at St Hallett, and our tight-knit crew of winemakers best exemplify the St Hallett spirit.
