Description
Wirra Wirra's ironstone cellars hold a captivating history filled with playful mischief, thrilling adventures, and a relentless commitment to crafting exceptional wines.
The winery's story dates back to 1894 when it was constructed by an eccentric former state cricketer. He sought refuge in McLaren Vale, escaping the embarrassment he caused his family with his antics.
Fast forward to the late 1960s, and a visionary named Greg Trott stepped in. He had a dream not only to restore Wirra Wirra to its former glory but also to create a legacy. Greg's legacy is all about being deeply devoted to your craft while never forgetting to have fun and relish the joys of life.
Woodhenge is a monument to “big” ideas and to Greg Trott’s unique vision of what makes Wirra Wirra special. It is also a bloody big fence that weighs about 10 tonnes! This wine is a tribute to the McLaren Vale region, the Shiraz grape and the foresight of Wirra Wirra’s founder, who like Woodhenge, typifies the individuality of the region.
Wirra Wirra sources fruit from a combination of owned vineyards and premium McLaren Vale growers. The blend of individual vineyards and sub-regional characteristics is the key to the resulting style. Intense plums and rich dark berry fruits fill Woodhenge’s palate and provide a wonderfully round, silky texture. The fresh acid structure balances the generous and persistent fruit flavours and the spicy nutmeg and finely textured oak. Woodhenge offers great drinking now and for the first 10+ years of its life if cellared in appropriate conditions.
14.5% ABV.
