Intro to Wirra Wirra Woodhenge Shiraz –

Wirra Wirra Woodhenge Shiraz from McLaren Vale in Australia has a fragrant bouquet of ripe plums, raspberries, chocolate and cedar notes. The palate has layers of plums and raspberries with nutmeg and aniseed and has power, great length and style.

Full tasting note and wine making –

Wirra Wirra Woodhenge Shiraz has mouthfilling fruits that are balanced by sandy tannins and cedary oak providing a wine with wonderful weight, balance and persistence and it will age for 8 to 13 years. Grapes for this wine were selected from various sites from throughout the McLaren Vale region to make this rich generous McLaren Vale Shiraz. It is fermented in open top fermenters and then placed in oak barrels to complete fermentation, blended after 15 months in oak and returned to oak barrels to mature for 17 months in French & American oak barriques. 35 % of the barrels were new with older oak making up the balance of oak used especially for the final 2 months aging.

The producer –

Gregg Trott, the original owner had a philosophy was ‘Never give misery an even break, nor bad wine a second sip. You must be serious about quality, dedicated to your task in life, especially winemaking, but this should all be fun.’ And this is followed by the current team.
The Wirra Wirra vineyards are in McLaren Vale in South Australia where the Mediterranean climate is ideal for grape growing producing regionally distinctive wines. They also own vineyards in Adelaide Hills in the Mount Lofty Ranges just East of Adelaide where the altitude enables them to produce elegant cool climate wines with finesse in Lenswood and Piccadilly.
The Wirra Wirra winemaking philosophy is to the let grapes shine and reflect their quality. They are also very environmentally aware and practice sustainable agriculture conserving water, planting 3000 trees and reduced chemical use. Their vineyards near the winery are certified Biodynamic.
