McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaChurch Block was the first wine produced under the Wirra Wirra label back in 1972. The name came from one of the original vineyards, next to the small Bethany Church (1854) in McLaren Vale. This is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Shiraz, and 9% Merlot from various growers across the Vale. It was matured in a mix of 70/30 French and American oak (10% new) of varying sizes. Ripe blackberry, cassis flood the plump, juicy palate, with sticky, short, and branchy tannins to the soft coffee bean finish. A simple red for hearty stews.Tasted: 18 November 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
