Wirra Wirra Church Block Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Merlot 750ml (ABV 23%)

Church Block, from the McLaren Vale region is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) Shiraz (41%) Merlot (9%). Matured in a combination of French (70%) and American oak (30%) barriques and hogsheads of which 10% is new.

Nose - Sweet and fragrant red currants, dark cherries and blackberries sit comfortably with aromas of dark chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg. Rosemary and autumn leaf characters bring a savoury element, as do barrel influences of vanilla pod, cedar, and toasted oak.

Palate - Blood plums, cranberry and liquorice combine with polished tannins to give a supple, even mouthfeel with a fine-grained finish. A vibrant line runs the length of the palate, balanced by richer elements as of roasted meats, burnt butter and sage. This classic example of the blend achieves harmony and easy approachability.
