A Colorful Display: The wine exhibits a bright, polished garnet hue with crimson highlights, setting the stage for what’s to come.

Aromatic Delight: Let the sweet and fragrant notes of red currants, dark cherries, and blackberries entice your senses. Hints of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and nutmeg add complexity, while rosemary and autumn leaves bring a savory element. Barrel influences introduce nuances of vanilla pod, cedar, and toasted oak.

Palate Pleaser: Savour the delightful flavours of Church Block, blood plums, cranberry, and licorice as they blend seamlessly with polished tannins, creating a supple and even mouthfeel. A vibrant line runs through the palate, balanced by richer elements like roasted meats, burnt butter, and sage. This classic blend achieves harmony and easy approachability.

Age-Worthy Elegance: Enjoy this wine from release and marvel at its evolution over the next 15 years.

Perfect Pairing: For a culinary match made in heaven, pair the Church Block barbecued lamb loin chops or grilled cauliflower steaks with lemon, garlic, and parsley.

Vineyard Excellence: Wirra Wirra sources fruit from select grower vineyards across McLaren Vale, including our own blocks adjacent to the winery.

Oak Maturation: This wine matures in a combination of French (70%) and American oak (30%) barriques and hogsheads, with 10% being new oak.

Vinification Expertise:

The fruit undergoes a gentle crushing and destemming process en route to the fermenter. Fermentation temperatures are carefully managed to extract desired flavors and tannins. Pump-overs are meticulously performed to enhance extraction and cap management. After achieving the desired character, the wine is pressed, and malolactic fermentation takes place in tank or barrel, with oak maturation tailored to each varietal.
