D Block

Named for the Davey Block of the Davey Estate vineyard, these wines are John Davey’s personal expression of the McLaren Vale and showcase the best Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon that the region is capable of producing. True reserve wines, only made in exceptional vintages.
Vintage availability varies throughout our markets – to find the vintage currently available in your market, please contact your local distributor.

D Block Shiraz

In a small niche of the Davey Estate Vineyard the soil, climate & Shiraz combine to create something special – the fruit that is ultimately hand crafted to become D Block Reserve Shiraz. Gentle hand working of the skins in small, 5 tonne open fermenters and traditional winemaking practices protect & nurture the unique qualities of the terroir. Very fine grained French (70%) & American (30%) oak hogsheads are used to allow a long, slow maturation of the wine & subtle oak integration. 

 

A combination of 1 – 6 year old barrels, crafted by select coopers to our requirements, are used to create nuances & diversity of flavour. When maturation & oak integration are perfect, individual barrels are selected & blended to create the fruit power, complexity & harmonious balance that is Shingleback D Block Reserve Shiraz.

D Block Cabernet Sauvignon

In a small niche of the John Petrucci vineyard the soil, climate and Cabernet Sauvignon combine to create something special – the fruit that is ultimately hand crafted to become D Block Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Gentle hand working of the skins in small, 5 tonne open fermenters and traditional winemaking practices protect and nurture the unique qualities of the terroir.
