Block Series show true varietal character and the influence of the terroir of The Lane Vineyard. Block numbers indicate the patch within the vineyard where the fruit is grown, as do the "Google Earth" coordinates on each label. Minimum intervention winemaking allows the vineyard to do the talking. The Block Series are stylish, fresh, fruit-driven wines with a true sense of place.

TASTING NOTES
Lifted aromas of violets, forest fruits and cloves followed by flavours of bramble fruits, spice and charcuterie with fine tannins. Bold nose with aromas of black pepper, menthol, and dark fruit.
A palate of developed fruits like plum, cherry, and blackberry leads to high acidity.

ABOUT THE LANE VINEYARD
The Lane Vineyard's logo.
Among the picturesque Adelaide Hills, The Lane Vineyard offers a quintessentially South Australian winery experience.
The cool climate and high altitude makes for ideal growing conditions; long summer days never get too hot, and the sudden fall in temperature when the sun goes down preserves the acidity and structure of the wines. The small, cutting-edge winery works hard to remain ahead of the curve, using the latest technology and equipment available to create the finest wines possible.
The Lane Vineyard also utilises technology in their pursuit of social, environmental, and economic sustainability. From cleaner production practices to improve the quality of waste water, to energy-efficient lighting and cooling systems to reduce emissions, the winery is taking big steps towards a clean future.
