Block 42 played a critical role in the development of Grange. Max Schubert experimented with parcels of Block 42 Cabernet during the development phase of Grange and it was occasionally blended into the early Grange vintages. 

Colour
Dense in colour.

Nose
Intense blackcurrant, dark chocolate and liquorice aromas.

Palate
Fine, silky tannins and richly concentrated flavours are in perfect harmony. The sheer volume and weight of fruit explodes across the palate, giving tremendous depth and length of flavour.

Origin: Block 42 Kalimna Vineyard, Barossa Valley, South Australia.

Maturation: Fermentation was completed in medium toast, new 300L oak hogsheads, before the wine underwent 13 months barrel fermentation.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon.

Above average winter rainfall led into a promising vintage, which was characterised by mild conditions up until February, followed by hot weather conditions throughout March and April. South Australia fared well and produced wines of elegance and intensity.
