In 1969 visionary Richard Greg Trott took the walls of the original cellars and built one of Australia’s iconic wineries. Our wines are matured within the historic walls of the old 1894 cellars today. Wirra Wirra has been figuratively and literally the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region since its inception. Each year just prior to harvest, the winemaking community gathers on the lawns at Wirra Wirra to ring in the new vintage on our giant Angelus bell. We recognize the importance of preserving this special part of the world through our certified biodynamic and organic vineyards and Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certified winery, planting 5,200 native trees on our property and sourcing 30% of our electricity from our 400 solar panels. Since 1894 the Wirra Wirra name has been synonymous with McLaren Vale. Today it’s famous for classic wines that winemaker Emma Wood beautifully crafts from the region’s heritage varieties of Shiraz, Grenache & Cabernet Sauvignon. Show less
