The Block 3 Shiraz is very much a reflection of where it comes from; it could really only ever come from McLaren Vale. Ripe blackberries, licorice, cinnamon and mocha are the hallmark Block 3 characters we see each release. Always full in body with a fine-grained tannin structure, it glides seamlessly across the palate, allowing the Block 3 Shiraz to be easily enjoyed in its youth, but the intensity of the fruit always ensures the wine ages very well for a decade; sometimes two.
White Mischief is our exciting New World version of the more traditional styles of Gruner Veltliner. This style gives free range to the exuberant aromatics that this exciting variety has the potential to produce. The nose is bursting with mouth-watering citrus and tropical aromatics and the palate is a vibrant tumble of guava, nectarine, ruby-grapefruit and gentle spice. This is all held together with a super-juicy acidity and the all-important textural rub. Perfect with all Asian cuisine, all white meats, vegetarian dishes, seafood, and soft cheeses.
Gruner Veltliner is a variety that ages well and this wine should develop splendidly for between 7 – 10 years.
