2022 Dave's Block Blewitt Springs Shiraz

Two Hands Dave’s Block Shiraz is a Single Vineyard wine from a very special old vineyard perched on an elevated site in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. With classic white sand over clay soils and a cooler, higher position, the vineyard allows Shiraz to ripen slowly, building fragrance, structure and depth while retaining freshness. The site has a remarkable lineage, created from cuttings taken from Kay Brothers’ Block 6, a renowned McLaren Vale vineyard with vines over 110 years old. This heritage connection gives Dave’s Block a strong sense of history and regional identity, while its elevated location contributes elegance and detail. Previously, Dave’s Block formed the McLaren Vale component of Ares, our Flagship Shiraz. In 2014, when Ares returned to 100% Barossa Valley fruit, Dave’s Block earned its place within the Single Vineyard Series. In the glass, it offers dark fruit, spice, savoury richness and a long, refined McLaren Vale finish.
