In 1972, Cousins Greg and Rodger Trott produced a dry red wine from a blend of grenache and shiraz grapes grown on Greg’s vineyard adjacent to the small Bethany Chapel opposite Wirra Wirra. This wine proved to be an instant hit, however as with all things the original blend evolved over time eventually becoming the Wirra Wirra "Church Block", the vineyards signature blend of cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and merlot. The "Original Blend" is a recreation of the original grenache and shiraz blend that made the cousins famous throughout the McLaren Vale.

Vivid crimson in colour with vibrant hues of deep red, aromas of forest berries, cherries and raspberries intertwine with scents of freshly tilled earth, rose petals, nutmeg and ginger spice. A wide spectrum of flavours are present on the pallet with cherries, raspberries and blueberries at the forefront, giving way to a lovely mid palate fleshiness, with the fruit being supported by fine savoury tannins and waves of spice.

Ready to drink now, this wine will continue to reward the patient and will continue to develop over the next 4 to 12 years.
