Wirra Wirra Church Block Cabernet - Shiraz - Merlot 2008

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 samll Bethany Church across the road from Wirra Wirra`s century old ironstone cellars. Over four decades, the Church Block label has become an Ausdtralian 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 2008 selection of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), Shiraz (37%) and Merlot (15%) is another masterful blend. Matured in predominantly French oak barriques for 18 month, it is rich in fruit to enjoy in its youth, but with the structure to develop for a decade under careful cellaring. Screwcap. Now last three bottles!
