Block E is situated on the North Facing Slope of the Clyde Park Vineyard – hand pruned, trained and harvested. Planted in 1996, this unique parcel was fermented separately with indigenous yeasts, 40% whole bunches included in the ferment and 9 months maturation in 30% new French puncheons.

The wine is intensely aromatic, purple fruits and chinese five spice. The palate is structural, fresh and has a core of purple fruits which hold the whole bunch in check. This is best left in the cellar for a few years to unwind and come into its own.
