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. Enjoy with Beef, mushroom and red wine pie.

Take It To The Grave Shiraz is vivid red and purple in colour with an expansive nose of blackberries, blood plums and chocolaty oak. The palate is opulent and inviting with dark plum and blackcurrant fruit flavours matched by dried herbs, cloves and subtle spicy oak.

BLEASDALE VINEYARD Frank Potts Cabernet Blend, Langhorne Creek Bleasdale, the first winery in Langhorne Creek (1850), celebrates founder Frank Potts with this Flagship Series Cabernet-led blend filled out with Malbec and some or all of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, depending on the vintage. The wine typically has aromas of red berry and darker fruits with plum, violet and black olive notes. These characters continue on to the palate supported by nutty, spicy oak plus a hint of vanilla. Components are de-stemmed and crushed to open fermenters with the Malbec fermented as whole berries. After up to 14 days on skins post-fermentation the wine is transferred to French oak puncheons and hogsheads (about 30% new) for 12 months maturation.
