The butchers block is a traditional barossa blend made with grapes selected from the turkey flat vineyards, including some from the original old vine plantings. It is a blend of mataro (mourvedre), shiraz and grenache, with the proportions of each variety varying from vintage to vintage.

Each varietal component of this wine is vinified separately in large oak vats, and subsequently matured in french oak hogsheads for 18 months.

A wine similar to a quality french rhone red, combining the plump ripe fruit that australia is capable of producing, but with the elegance and complexity that you expect to find in classy chateauneuf du pape. The result is a warm, earthy, full-bodied red with seamless oak integration. ItsDark plum, cherry and cracked black pepper on the nose leads to juicy sweet blackcurrant with savoury hints and velvety mouthfeel. It pairs well with the bold flavour of beef.

This wine is suitable for vegans & vegetarians.
