Tasting Notes

A medium-bodied palate with red and black berries. Layers of spice, dark plum, cassis and berry fruit adorn the palate - pleasantly held together by fine tannins. Smooth & delicious. A food friendly red if there ever was one! This deceptively lighter style wine is equally comfortable being enjoyed with a cheese & charcuterie board or a warm home cooked meal, such as spaghetti bolognaise, lamb cutlets or braised rabbit served with tomato and olives. 

Technical Notes

Named in honour of our family’s original use for the building that now houses our Cellar Door, the Butchers Block Red is a structured, fruit-driven & medium bodied wine. A crowd-pleasing style of wine that offers excellent value for money. 

A return to the vintage of old with vintage beginning somewhat later than recent years. High spring rainfall and consistent temperatures throughout the growing season saw higher yields coupled with excellent flavour intensity. Overall, another exceptional year. Each varietal is vinified & aged individually in French oak barrels before the final blending process. Shiraz adds the generous mouthfeel, Grenache the spice and cherry-like sweetness and Mataro the backbone, savoury edge and fragrance. Balance is crucial, each varietals contribution is evident, yet nothing competes for your attention. 46% Shiraz 38% Grenache 16% Mataro
