Wine Description
Aptly named ‘Mother Block’, these wines come from the red sand and limestone soils of the Chalmers Vineyard in Merbein, the heart and hub of everything we do. As well as it being the location of our family home and business, this unique and diverse vineyard is the adopted home to each variety that we’ve imported to Australia over the last 20+ years. It is also the source block for supplying millions of vines planted across Australia through our vine nursery, hence the name Mother Block. All wines are sustainably farmed, estate grown, ethically tended, co-fermented and vegan friendly with the use of lightweight glass and labels made from 100% recycled materials.
Accolades
92pts - James Suckling
A highly textural, mid-weighted style that becomes ever more refined with each release. Scents of bitter orange marmalade, salted quince and preserved lemon spring from the glass. The mid-palate is a weld of numerous rivets: salty, subtly sweet and nobly bitter, with a kick of quinine across the tenacious finale. Very good drinking for the versatile table. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Ned Goodwin MW (Senior Editor)
