Wirra Wirra Church Block Shiraz 750ml

92 POINTS - James Suckling

Ever since the first release from the 1972 vintage, Church Block blends have been synonymous with great McLaren Vale red wine. Early wines were sourced from a neighbouring vineyard which ran adjacent to a small Bethany Church. This is only the second release of a single variety Church Block - highlighting Shiraz, which has been a part of every Church Block since 1972.
