Church Block first appeared back in 1972 under the watchful eye of Greg Trott who was taken by one of the original vineyards that ran alongside the small Bethany Church, across the road from Wirra Wirra's old ironstone cellars. Over the last 4 decades, Church Block has become one of Australia's favourites with its rich, full-bodied style consisting of swathes of black and blue fruits and a nice, smooth finish that seems to last ever so long for such an affordable red wine.
$15.95 in any six
It's frankly hilarious that you can pick up a wine for $17 at Dan Murphy's that will shine for twenty years! I'd never believe it if I hadn't been dazzled by a line of 80s and 90s Church Blocks recently. There must be some divine intervention going on here and 09 has sure been blessed.
