About this Wine

The Rocky Block on the McLeod’s Tirrike vineyard sits at the very northern limit of the Coonawarra growing region. Somewhat predictably, the vineyard is littered with Limestone rocks which sit amongst the vineyard’s shallow terra rossa soils. These ancient soils lack the fertility of neighbouring paddocks with black dirt, limiting yields, concentrating flavour and producing wonderfully expressive cool climate Shiraz with high levels of natural acidity.
Picking was conducted using a Select Harvester which de-stems the bunches in the vineyard to deliver pristine whole berries to the winery.

The grapes were fermented in both open and closed top fermenters for an average of 10 days on skins. Closed fermenters are used to retain aromatics, while open tops are used for flavour and colour extraction. Malolactic fermentation was completed in stainless steel and then the blend was put to French oak barriques (25% new) for 12 months prior to bottling.

The Rocky Block Shiraz is a great example of cool climate Australian Shiraz. It displays freshness and elegance, with concentration, structure, and great length.

Coonawarra Wine

The Coonawarra wine region is most known for its Cabernet Sauvignon that is produced on red “terra rossa” soil. This clay soil is one of the most notable in the “New World” of wine covering an area of only 15kmx2km. The terra rossa soil also overlies soft, penetrable limestone and it is this uncommon combination that makes this region so special.

“Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted variety in the world and Coonawarra is one of the few regions where free draining soils and maritime ripening conditions achieve the ultimate varietal expression.” Coonawarra.org

From Coonawarra Cabernet you can expect a medium bodied red with powerful yet polished tannins, luscious dark berry fruit, herb and mint flavours as well as satisfying length.

While half of region’s production is Cabernet, the limestone soils also suit planting of Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon blanc.
