2020 Wirra Wirra The Angelus Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Deep ruby with hints of garnet at the centre and a bright rim. A timeless composition of primary vibrance and carefully developed complexity. Juicy blackberries, fresh redcurrant and tobacco leaf, hatched with forest floor, dried herbs, cedar and leather. Crisp red fruits layered with autumn leaf, tilled earth and cedary characters all set a serious tone before opening up to red plum, dark cherry and black currant. Vital acidity, fruit flesh and taught, fine grained tannin build the framework for a long and elegantly structured palate.

Wirra Wirra vineyards established itself as one of Australia’s most recognisable and leading wineries under the watchful eye of the late Greg Trott. Trott, who sadly passed away in 2005, and his cousin Roger rebuilt the winery in 1969 from the remnants of two walls and some slate fermenting tanks. Today Wirra Wirra Vineyards has developed a reputation for intense, beautifully crafted red wines and expressive fine whites. James Halliday has described Wirra Wirra as “…the best small to medium sized winery in McLaren Vale and right up there on a national scale”. Whilst the production of high quality wine is a serious business, Wirra Wirra will continue to subscribe to Greg Trott’s view that wine is an essential ingredient in the enjoyment of the finer things in life – good food, good music and good conversation.
