Wirra Wirra

The journey of Wirra Wirra from its prosperous beginnings in the late 1800s, period of total neglect, to its strong global positioning today is that of a storyteller’s dream.  

Loveable eccentric and former state cricketer, Robert Strangways Wigley, purchased a mere (at the time) 240 acres of land in McLaren Vale back in 1894, quickly establishing Wirra Wirra as a winery of exceptional quality amongst its already flourishing peers. His passing in 1926 ultimately lead to Wirra Wirra’s closure, and the winery’s beautiful ironstone cellars were left to ruin. 

Enter Richard Trott, 1969, and his lofty dream to restore the crumbling walls and dilapidated vineyards to their former glory. And that he did! Today, Wirra Wirra is part of Australia’s most sustainable wine region, McLaren Vale. With organic and biodynamic certified estate vineyards and an unwavering commitment to protecting and developing their environment from vineyard through to winery production, Wirra Wirra cut no corners when producing quality wines in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

The Wirra Wirra portfolio is one of style, substance and diversity. Each wine captures the unique marriage between grape variety and regional expression. The plush, fruit driven reds and pure of character whites epitomise the very best of Australian wine production and have rightly cemented themselves as an Australian favourite around the globe.

Church Block was the first wine the late Greg Trott produced under the Wirra Wirra label back in 1972. he took the name from one of the original vineyards which runs alongside the old Bethany church across the road from Wirra Wirra’s ironstone cellars. Over four decades, the Church Block label has become the iconic wine of the Wirra Wirra portfolio.

Woodhenge

Woodhenge

Upon entry to Wirra Wirra, every visitor passes Woodhenge, a 10-tonne post and rail fence made from raw, ancient redgum trunks. Built by hand, it is reminiscent of a fence from an early settler’s bush cottage, that is, if the cottage was inhabited by giants. Woodhenge endures as a monument to the late re-builder of Wirra Wirra, Greg Trott, his grandiose ideas and unique vision.
Vineyard Wirra Wirra

MVCG Cabernet Sauvignon

Greg Trott was a visionary of monumental proportions. One of his great plans was to build the McLaren Vale Cricket Ground (MVCG), a world class oval to attract the world’s finest cricketers to play in his village. He spent many hours drawing plans, capturing exactly how it would look, feel and play, but unfortunately fiscal realities prevented it from happening. The MVCG Cabernet Sauvignon, however, came to fruition and is a much championed wine from the region today.
