WIRRA WIRRA WOODHENGE SHIRAZ 2023

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 (2023 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. This wine is a tribute to the region, the grape variety and the foresight of a wine man that, like Woodhenge, typifies the individuality of McLaren Vale.

Rich and concentrated aromas of satsuma plum, blackberry, polished leather and chargrilled meat are lifted by a dusting of nutmeg, creamy milk chocolate and clove. Plush dark plums and earth unwind into rich dark chocolate and sumptuous dark fruits. Tannins are resolved and silky, layered with savoury oak. A vivid wine with lavish intensity and lingering drive.

A combination of hogsheads and barriques. 23% new French oak, 10% American oak for 18 months. Bold and fruitful on release, cellar for up to 15 years for increased stylish complexity"
