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 release of a single variety Church Block highlights Shiraz, which has been a part of every Church Block since 1972.

Planted in 1972, the Scrubby Rise vineyards at Wirra Wirra sit on ancient rocks more than 100,000 years old. The fact that they are totally flat and contain no 'scrub' or bush whatsoever was of more interest to the late Greg Trott, who gave them their dubious name. As one might call a redhead 'Bluey' or a tall man 'Shorty', Trott drew on traditional Aussie humour to make the point that we shouldn't take life too seriously. Be dedicated to your task he said, but everything else should be fun. That's a philosophy they aspire to at Wirra Wirra, as they raise a glass of this classic McLaren Vale shiraz.
