Irvine Estate Ruth's Block Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021

We’re thrilled to introduce the second vintage of Ruth’s Block Shiraz – a fine Barossa Shiraz made exclusively for us. Selected from the estate's Ebenezer vineyard, named in honour of the late Ruth Miles, mother of Peter Miles and wife of Brian Miles. As our buyer said on the wine's creation, “Having a winery the calibre of Irvine make a wine just for us is a big deal. Mostly because they don’t need to. They already sell everything they make. So when Irvine agreed, it was mostly because they like us.” It’s nice to be liked! And it means some exceptional wines for you – at extraordinary prices. Like this one right here. Irvine Estate is home to Barossa vineyards that date back to 1867. The estate is famous for its majestic Merlot but Irvine Estate is sending ripples around the industry with its old-vine Shiraz as well. Indeed, Irvine took home the Trophy for 'Best Barossa Shiraz' at the Barossa Valley Wine Show in 2017, ahead of BIG Barossa names like Teusner, Grant Burge, Peter Lehmann, St Hallett and Thorn-Clarke!
