WIRRA WIRRA WOODHENGE SHIRAZ 2021

Double Gold Medal – New Zealand International Wine Show 2024

As the winery says.. "Woodhenge is a monument to "BIG" ideas and to a unique vision of what makes Wirra Wirra special and well, a bloody big fence that weighs about 10 tonnes." Named after that fence, Woodhenge Shiraz shares many of its endearing qualities; it's big, solid, crowd pleasing and definitely something out of the ordinary.

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Woodhenge is a monument to “big” ideas and to Greg Trott’s unique vision of what makes Wirra Wirra special and well, a bloody big fence that weighs about 10 tonnes. Our spin on the classic McLaren Vale style it is rich and bold with mouth-filling fruits and fine sandy tannins that give it a long and persistent finish, built to go the distance.

This is a rich nose with distinct red-berry fruits and plums alongside sweet vanilla, nutmeg and baked short pastry. There’s also dark chocolate ganache, dried thyme and tilled earth. Close-knit fine tannins combine with fruit sweetness to give a super-plush mouthfeel. Emerging characters of raspberry jam, satsuma plum, star anise and milk chocolate flesh out the detail, with mocha, char and graphite to finish. There’s depth and concentration in this classic McLaren Vale style, and the palate remains fresh and supple to the finish."
