Only the finest grapes undergo basket pressing, hand plunging, and open fermentation, followed by 10 months of aging in French oak. The fragrant and spicy aroma sets the stage for one of McLaren Vale's premier grenaches, showcasing fruit of exceptional purity from this vintage. The palate delights with flavors of red cherry, raspberry, spice, and floral notes.

Wirra Wirra has built a strong reputation for producing wines of exceptional character, quality, and style. The Angelus Cabernet Sauvignon and RSW Shiraz vie for top honors, while The Absconder Grenache shows promise as a rising star. Under the leadership of managing director Matthew Deller MW and the dedicated winemaking team, Wirra Wirra continues to uphold the legacy of its founder Greg Trott. The acquisition of Ashton Hills in 2015 further strengthened its portfolio, with the estate vineyards now certified organic.
