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 Wirra's century old ironstone cellars. Over four decades, the Church Block label has become an Australian favourite, consistently offering a smooth, soft red wine that balances the complexity sought by aficionados, with the approachability desired by those seeking pure drinking pleasure.The 2011 selection of Cabernet Sauvignon (47%), Shiraz (44%) and Merlot (9%) is another masterful blend. Matured in 70% French oak and 30% American oak barriques for 18 months, it is rich in fruit to enjoy in its youth, but with the structure to develop for a decade under careful cellaring.

Tasting Notes
Succulent ripe berry fruit characters on the palate mingle with warm cedar and leather aromas. The generous fruit is balanced with well integrated oak and soft tannins to produce a delicious wine with great length and style.

History
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 Wirra's century old ironstone cellars.

Regional Information
Wirra Wirra Vineyards is situated 3.7km from the township of McLaren Vale in the state of South Australia. Originally settled in 1838, McLaren Vale has become one of Australia's most highly regarded and accessible wine regions, just 45 minutes by car from Adelaide, the state capital. Its Mediterranean climate and proximity to the Gulf St. Vincent provides the region with a unique ability to produce consistent, richly complex and long lived wines from classic grape varieties, in particular that powerhouse of the Australian wine industry, shiraz.

Current Vintage
2016

Vinification Details
The fruit is sourced from a selection of premium vineyard sites in McLaren Vale, specially picked for their particular microclimates and resulting styles. Fermentation starts cool, and the temperature rises as the yeasts become more active. The wine is regularly pumped over the grape skins to obtain the desired fruit and flavour extraction, before a gentle pressing. The wine is matured in mainly French oak barrels, resulting in the generous and smooth Church Block signature style.
