SKU: WIRFHAGRE23
In 2019 wine scribe Katie Spain wrote, “The late Greg Trott had an entrepreneur’s eye and a farmer’s heart, a balance that served him well”. Trott grew up on a McLaren Vale farm growing stone fruit, grapes and raising chickens. He returned to the land after school and continued farming while he undertook the audacious task of rebuilding Wirra Wirra from ruins. Trott’s enduring love of the land inspired him to fight for the protection of McLaren Vale as agricultural land, a battle he fought until his passing in 2005.

Palate

Vibrant ruby red in colour. Striking red fruits open to star anise, dried herbs and soft rose petal. A touch of warm candle wax and white strawberry compote add a little opulence to the grenache archetype. A depth of umami (savoury) flavour and warm spices are enveloped in creamy red fruits. Fine, green tea-like tannin add direction and presence to the palate.

Braised chicken with ginger, soy and star anise.

”This came off mainly old vines, with 74% 95 years of age or more; matured in older oak. Ripe, but a product of the cool year, this drinks towards mid-weight, with strawberry, wild raspberry, sour cherry, damson, pomegranate and medicinal herbs coiled into a thoughtful and intricate warp and weft of tannin. There’s a pleasing sour-fruited tension to this, which complements the grip, the combination aching for food. The ripeness is à point, the structure bravely savoury and compelling. It’s delightful, but no pushover.”
