Red Block Shiraz - Case of 6 1 of 1

Red Block Shiraz - Case of 6

Product code: 00688017

Sorry, this item is no longer available

A wonderfully soft and seductive Australian Shiraz that is medium bodied and packed full of juicy blackcurrant fruit. A touch of oak has added complexity and creamy depth to the supple tannins and refreshing acidity of this ripe, peppery red.

Experienced winemaker Gary Compton is a man who likes his wines to be elegant and enticing rather than obvious. This ethos comes through vividly in this lively, spicy red which shows a delightful lightness of touch. Gary has added a little Petit Verdot and Viognier for extra black pepper and floral complexity in this gracefully constructed blend. He also used American oak to give the wine a subtle note of vanilla cream that beautifully complements the spice of the Shiraz fruit.

Product details

New Red Block Shiraz

Vintage: 2011

A wonderfully soft and seductive Australian Shiraz that is medium bodied and packed full of juicy blackcurrant fruit.

About this bottle: Gary Compton has over 20 years experience making Australian wine and he isn't about to let his vines 'go mad' in this hot, sunny corner of the country. This juicy, tangy red is a model of restraint - it shows off the very best, boisterous characters of Shiraz (a good seven days maceration on skins makes sure of this), but tempers all those wild leather and spice characters with a small number of Petit Verdot grapes to give pepperiness and pizazz.
