Formerly called "Scarce Earth" this wine is part of a McLaren Vale initiative to explore and celebrate the geological climatic and soil diversity of the region. The fruit for this wine was sourced from a single vineyard, Ben Riggs 'Burnt Block' in the Piebald Gully Vineyard located in McLaren Vale'scoolest sub-region, Clarendon. In 1998, the year the vineyard was planted, lightning struck and fire raced through and wiped out the majority of the plantings, hence the name 'Burnt Block'. The resulting wine from the vineyard that rose from the ashes has layers of complexity and depth that shows something new every time you return for a sip.
