The ironstone cellars of Wirra Wirra house a history rich in mischief, adventure and dedication to creating great wines. The winery was built in 1894 by an eccentric former state cricketer. It was re-built in the late 1960's by Greg Trott who dreamt of returning Wirra Wirra to its former glory.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay.
Current vintage: 2022.
Regional information: Handpicked grapes were whole bunch pressed and the free run component of the juice filled to French oak for spontaneous/wild fermentation. A small juice portion completed fermentation and maturation in stainless steel to preserve additional primary fruit. All barrels were tasted weekly to monitor the increasing complexity and malolactic activity as lees stirring was introduced. Barrels were sulphured on lees at various stages through maturation to capture fruit brightness.
Tasting notes: White peach and nectarine hit the nose with a hint of buttery brioche. The palate is soft and weighty with the creaminess of barrel ageing on fine lees. Threads of citrus and crisp acidity weave through the palate resulting in a perfectly balanced wine.
Alcohol by volume: 12% ABV.
