Fire Block Old Vine Shiraz CONFIRM VINTAGE

Shiraz Clare Valley South Australia
The historic Fire Block vineyard was named for its dangerous proximity to the passing, flame powered railway engines of yesteryear, imperilled by the sparks of the locomotives that often ignited bushfires. Biodynamically grown Shiraz is vinified in the traditional old world way, fermented in four tonne batches, lovingly basket pressed, aged in a combination of French oak barriques and American oak hogsheads. Vibrant bouquet with plum, spice and currant characters, generously flavoured and richly proportioned, showing very well in its youth, a long, illustrious future is assured.

Fire Block
By Bill and Noel Ireland of Flinders Bay fame, Fire Block is a site that was planted predominantly to Grenache in the 1920s

Situated beside the old Watervale railway station site, Fire Block vineyard was originally planted in 1926, making the Shiraz and Grenache vines over 80 years old. The historic Fire Block vineyard was named for it's dangerous proximity to the passing railway engines of yesteryear, imperilled by the sparks of the locomotives that often started bushfires.

Fire Block

The 6 hectare property was purchased by Alistair Gillespie and Bill and Noel Ireland in 1995, and the 3 wines (Riesling, Shiraz, Grenache) are skilfully contract-made, winning trophies and gold medals at capital city wine shows. Winemakers: David O'Leary and Nick Walker
