Bloc Wines

Bloc Wines started with four mates from Argentina, Scotland and Australia who found themselves in the Barossa Valley with a shared love of good wine, good food and a few laughs along the way. The name “Bloc” comes from a group of countries forming an alliance, which seemed pretty fitting given our mix of backgrounds, accents and opinions.

We’re a small boutique winery making wines we’d actually want to drink ourselves. No fancy jargon, no overthinking it and no taking ourselves too seriously. We love great wine, but we’re also trying to take a bit of the wank out of wine. Wine should be approachable, enjoyable and shared with good people. That’s what we’re all about.

Everything we do is small batch and hands on. Our wines are hand-picked, hand plunged and basket pressed using traditional winemaking methods, with minimal intervention so the fruit can do what it does best. Our reds spend time in oak building character, while our Rosé is whole bunch pressed to keep things fresh, bright and easy going.

Every wine in the range is named after one of the mates behind the project, because wine should have personality. At the end of the day, we’re not trying to take ourselves too seriously. We just want to make great wines that bring people together, start conversations and get opened for the right reasons, not saved for the wrong ones.
