The 2022 Wirra Wirra House Block Shiraz is a premium McLaren Vale Shiraz sourced from the winery’s historic House Block vineyard, located adjacent to the original Wirra Wirra cellars in McLaren Vale. Produced from mature vines and crafted with a focus on vineyard expression, this wine showcases the depth, richness and complexity that have made the region one of Australia's premier homes for Shiraz. The 2022 vintage combines generous fruit concentration with freshness and structure, creating a wine with both immediate appeal and ageing potential.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully layered, with flavours of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry complemented by notes of liquorice, dark chocolate, cedar and baking spice. Fine, velvety tannins provide structure and texture, while balanced acidity brings freshness and precision. Careful oak maturation adds depth and complexity without overshadowing the fruit, leading to a long, savoury finish with impressive persistence and regional character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a premium McLaren Vale Shiraz with concentration, balance and cellar potential. The combination of estate-grown fruit, refined tannins and layered complexity makes it rewarding now with decanting, while further ageing will reveal additional savoury detail. Best enjoyed over the next 8–12 years. Pair with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, beef short ribs, venison or aged hard cheeses.
