Wirra Wirra releases new Church Block wines

Wirra Wirra’s Church Block red blend has been a favourite of Australian red wine drinkers for decades. It’s a cabernet blend, it almost always punches above its weight, you can drink it right now or you can even cellar it, should you really want to. For the first time Wirra Wirra has expanded the Church Block offering: the original red blend remains, but there’s now a varietal Church Block Shiraz 2023, and a Church Block Grenache Shiraz 2024.

Wirra Wirra chief winemaker Emma Wood has done a super job with these new Church Block wines. They’re so well polished, crafted and presented. For all their shape, texture and form they’re also deliciously drinkable. The 2024 Church Block Grenache Shiraz, is a wonderful offering at $25. The shiraz is just as good, and the original cabernet blend is probably – in pure quality terms – the best of the three.

Personally I’ll be jumping on the Church Block Grenache Shiraz. It’s a beauty.
