Description / Reviews

"The late re builder of Wirra Wirra, Greg Trott, saw many of his unusual dreams realised at Wirra Wirra. One vision that never quite became a reality in his time was the building of his very own catapult. Posthumously a medieval siege machine was built in Trott's honour, which is why a fully operational trebuchet sits on the Wirra Wirra lawns ready to fire off watermelons! Bonus points for anyone who can articulate the difference between a catapult and a trebuchet." - Wirra Wirra, Winemaker

"A generous, full bodied shiraz. Defined by exuberant aromas of lilacs, iodine and purple fruit set in relief against a deftly hewn tannic stucture with hints of licorice and a ripple of maritime freshness. Pepper and clove notes grown in intensity as the tannins compress and release flavour in incremental bursts. A warmer climatic expression with a complex cool aura. From orgnically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap." - 93 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, James Suckling

"Rich ruby with a full purple tint at the rim. Mulberry and mocha aromatics. Dense and powerful but doesn’t overbear the palate. Ripe blue fruits, dusty earth and mocha notes are all in harmony. Tannins are quite gravelly, ensuring there’s a contrasting tension to the fruit's generosity. Flows long and finishes with a bone-dry crunch. A lot of bang for buck and will offer cellaring rewards" - 91 Points Stuart Knox, The Real Review
