About the Wine

This wine is named after Robert Strangways Wigley, a noted South Australian eccentric and state cricketer who established Wirra Wirra back in 1894. Each vintage Wirra Wirra takes pride in producing a flagship Shiraz that befits McLaren Vale’s reputation as a first class producer of this varietal and home to some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the world.

Deep plum with garnet rim. Bouquet of sweet berries, Christmas cake and clove layer over blueberry and plum. Classically inviting, spicy, generous and varietal Shiraz. On the palate, classic dark chocolate and earthy character of McLaren Vale Shiraz is drenched in juicy, moreish blackberries and plums. Seasoned with cinnamon spice and cedar, framed by structural yet polished tannin, this wine is deceptively attractive in youth but will generously reward careful cellaring with increased complexity and savory notes.

Can be enjoyed upon release, but will live for 20+ years with careful cellaring. Try pairing it with slow braised beef short ribs with garlic potato gratin.
