Details
This magnificent Shiraz is named after Robert Strangeways Wigley, a noted South Australian eccentric and state cricketer who established Wirra Wirra back in 1894. The Wirra Wirra RSW Shiraz 2019 is 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.
Wirra Wirra is a family-owned winery that has been producing exceptional wines for over a century. The winery's commitment to sustainability and quality is evident in every bottle they produce. They source fruit from a combination of owned vineyards and premium McLaren Vale growers, ensuring that each bottle of wine is a true representation of the region's terroir.
The traditional winemaking process used by Wirra Wirra is a testament to their commitment to quality. The grapes are handpicked and sorted before being fermented in small batches. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, allowing the flavors to develop and mature.
The Wirra Wirra RSW Shiraz 2019 is a full-bodied wine with a deep ruby color. On the nose, it has aromas of blackberry, plum, and spice. On the palate, it is rich and complex, with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, giving the wine a long and smooth finish.
This wine pairs perfectly with grilled meats, hearty stews, and strong cheeses. It is a wine that can be enjoyed upon release or aged for up to 10-15 years from vintage.
