”Winemaker Emma Wood has done a super job with these Church Block wines. They’re so well polished, crafted and presented. For all their shape, texture and form they’re also deliciously drinkable. This shiraz leans towards the more red-fruited side of the ledger and as it does, delivers rounds of sweet spice, blueberries and cream. It has an in-built integrity and yet it’s a wine that you just want to guzzle. The new era of Church Block is off to quite a start. Indeed we’re into over-delivering territory”
