    Winemaker Notes

    The bouquet is concentrated and slightly spicy, with berry, black currant and cherry fruit aromas. Intensely fragrant, with hints of mint, cedary French oak and berry-fruit bouquet with tobacco/cigar box characteristics. On the palate it is complex, lingering, ripe cherry flavours with excellent length and balance. The wine has deep, fresh, berry fruit flavour typical of McLaren Vale Cabernet, with minty characters from the Coonawarra fruit. The spicy, smoky oak is well integrated with long, fine-grained tannins on the finish.

    "The Angelus" is traditionally a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Adelaide and Coonawarra regions. Only 980 dozen of the 1998 vintage were produced from the small but high quality parcels of fruit, which are sourced from individual low yielding vineyards.

    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.
