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.
- Colour
Deep plum with a scarlet edge.
- Bouquet
Lifted red and black currants, deeper plums and black cherries, fresh-tilled earth and leaf with some spicy cedar.
- Palate
Fresh red and dark fruits provide great flesh and depth to a long, even palate. Grainy tannins and cedary oak add structural support and line to the rich fruit.

Roasted lamb rack with vegetable gratin.
