"The late Greg Trott saw many of his unusual dreams realised at Wirra Wirra. Yet one vision eluded him – to build a medieval siege machine, or trebuchet. Why? To use as a catapult to bomb neighbouring wineries with bottles of wine of course. This wine is part of a range, the RGT collection which remembers the pioneering spirit of Richard Gregory Trott.

Lovely fresh plum and raspberries with notes of cinnamon, cocoa, clove, cardamom, nutmeg and dried ginger. A warm, vibrant and inviting nose. A delicious offering of blueberries, raspberries and plums are layered with pâtisserie-like notes of baking pastry, vanilla bean, butter biscuit and spice. The palate is generous with flavour and supplies an ample measure of tannin that is smooth and fine, with mouth coating persistence.

Approximately 70% French and 30% American. A combination of new and seasoned oak is used, blending to about 20% new oak in the final wine."

“A generous, full bodied shiraz. Defined by exuberant aromas of lilacs, iodine and purple
fruit set in relief against a deftly hewn tannic stucture with hints of licorice and a ripple of
maritime freshness. Pepper and clove notes grown in intensity as the tannins compress
and release flavour in incremental bursts. A warmer climatic expression with a complex
cool aura. From orgnically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.” 93/200. James Suckling
