Block 4 Shiraz 2024

Our 2024 Block 4 Shiraz is a special wine grown in one of our favourite shiraz blocks on the estate vineyard. This shiraz is brimming with notes of mulberry, wild fennel, bay leaf and peppercorns. It is a rich and enticing shiraz. The shiraz bunches were handpicked, de-stemmed and fermented in stainless steel. Naturally fermented with indigenous yeast and matured in 20% new French Oak, undergoing full malolactic conversion.
