Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Crimson with a purple edge. Bright and lifted blueberry, sweet raspberry and pepper. Layers of youthful shiraz fruits are complimented by sweet spices, dry herbs and delicate florals. The palate shows stylish, medium-bodied structure while offering generous volumes of flavor and texture. A heady mix of blue fruits, damson plum, anise and peaty, savory notes is countered with bright acidity and silky, plush tannins. This elegant balance produces a long and supple palate that continues to invite another taste.

Professional Ratings

    Plush and juicy, with a tangy cranberry accent to the cherry and plum flavors, mint and sage overtones and generous finish. Drink now through 2030.

Wirra Wirra, Australia
Wirra Wirra McLaren Vale Vineyard Winery Image

Wirra Wirra Vineyards was originally established in 1894 by known South Australian eccentric and cricketer Robert Strangways Wigley. The winery prospered in its early days, producing many wines including a much acclaimed Shiraz, which was exported to England and the Empire until his death in 1926. The winery ran into disrepair and was eventually abandoned. In 1969 under the watchful eye of the late Greg Trott and his cousin Roger, the winery was rebuilt from the remnants of two walls and some slate fermenting tanks. As with all subsequent Trott endeavours, it was the sheer magnitude and unlikeliness of the project that made it so attractive.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

McLaren Vale Wine

Known for opulent red wines with intense power and concentration, McLaren Vale is home to perhaps the most “classic” style of Australian Shiraz. Vinified on its own or in Rhône Blends, these hot-climate wines are deeply colored and high in extract with signature hints of dark chocolate and licorice. Cabernet Sauvignon is also produced in a similar style.

Whites, often made from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc tend to be opulent and full of tropical, stone and citrus fruit.
