Overview
Wirra Wirra RSW Shiraz is a flagship wine that honors Robert Strangeways Wigley, the eccentric South Australian cricketer and founder of Wirra Wirra in 1894. This wine reflects McLaren Vale's esteemed reputation as a premier region for Shiraz, home to some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the world. The RSW Shiraz is crafted from a blend of fruit sourced from Wirra Wirra’s own vineyards and premium McLaren Vale growers, with an emphasis on individual vineyard and sub-regional characteristics.
Tasting Notes
The RSW Shiraz showcases the full intensity of McLaren Vale's Shiraz, offering a rich, powerful palate of dark fruit and spice. The combination of ripe berries, bold tannins, and finely integrated oak creates a complex, structured wine. With its depth and balance, this Shiraz is a prime example of the region’s winemaking prowess and will continue to evolve beautifully for up to 10-15 years when cellared in optimal conditions.
