This wine is intensely bright, floral and fragrant on the nose with lovely length on the palate. A soft, flavoursome and well balanced cabernet with fine grained tannins on the finish.

Round yet fine and detailed, this medium bodied wine is brimming with lovely fruit density. Notes of red current, cassis, black cherry, and plum lead the charge, supported by secondary notes of bay leaf, graphite, wet clay and chocolate. Starting early, tannins are savoury in nature and run long through the palate complimented by lovely accents of ash and coal dust. Dense and chewy through to the finish, this wine has excellent length.

Enjoy “A fine McLaren Vale Cabernet (and friends)…" (WinePilot) mature and complex – "An attractive style with good balance, it will provide pleasure over the next half dozen years, longer if needs be. 94pts” (Ken Gargett, WinePilot). “A fine McLaren Vale Cabernet (and friends) from a single vineyard, it has the benefit of a number of years in the cellar already under its belt. Maturation was in French oak, a mix of new and older. The wine has some maturity and complexity already evident. Dark maroon with a russet rim, this is very much from the savoury end of the spectrum with an earthiness, along with notes of mushrooms, warm soil, coffee grinds, black fruits, animal flesh and aniseed. There is some oak apparent, but it merely adds to the overall impression of complexity. Of medium to good length, the wine finishes with sleek tannins. An attractive style with good balance, it will provide pleasure over the next half dozen years, longer if needs be. 94pts” (Ken Gargett, WinePilot).

Church Block first appeared back in 1972 under the watchful eye of Greg Trott who was taken by one of the original vineyards that ran alongside the small Bethany Church, across the road from Wirra Wirra's old ironstone cellars. Over the last 4 decades, Church Block has become one of Australia's favourites with its rich, full-bodied style consisting of swathes of black and blue fruits and a nice, smooth finish that seems to last ever so long for such an affordable red wine.

One of our most popular customers picks here at first Choice. Church Block was the first wine the late Greg Trott produced under the Wirra Wirra label back in 1972. He took the name from one of the original vineyards, which runs next to the small Bethany Church (Est 1854) across the road from Wirra Wirras century old ironstone cellars. The wine is a blend of 50% cabernet with 37% shiraz and 13% merlot delivering vibrant colour then true cabernet blackberry and cassis aromas and dominant flavour as well, while the rest of the varietal makeup adds a sweeter fruit-cored palate, full with bright red energy and comforting, easy drinking textures.
