Wirra Wirra
The ironstone cellars of Wirra Wirra house a history rich in mischief, adventure and dedication to creating great wines. The winery was built in 1894 by an eccentric former state cricketer, who absconded to McLaren Vale after embarrassing his family one too many times. It was re-built in the late 1960's by a visionary who dreamt of returning Wirra Wirra to its former glory. Greg Trott did more than that, he created a legacy of being dedicated to your craft while being equally serious about having fun and enjoying life.
Description
Colour: Mid scarlet with excellent brightness and clarity. Bouquet: Late-ripened strawberry, deep blueberries and white florals are spiced with ginger and anise, underlaid with dark plum and black cherry. Palate: Luscious red fruits give a succulent quality to the texture. The palate is generously fleshy with a line of fine, sandy tannins running its length. Darker fruits, florals and spices are very expressive and persistent at the finish.
Food Pairing
Five Spice pork belly with satsuma plum chutney.
