Wirra Wirra Vineyards
Wirra Wirra Vineyards, nestled in the picturesque McLaren Vale wine region of South Australia, boasts a storied history dating back to its founding in 1894 by Robert Strangways Wigley. This historic winery has undergone a remarkable journey, including a period of abandonment before being meticulously restored in the 1960s.
Wirra Wirra is celebrated for producing premium wines that authentically capture the McLaren Vale's unique terroir, with a particular focus on grape varieties such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache.
Among its iconic wines, "The Church Block" and "Dead Ringer" stand out, earning critical acclaim for their quality and consistency. The winery warmly welcomes visitors to its cellar door, offering an opportunity to sample and purchase its exceptional wines while providing insights into the winemaking process from knowledgeable staff. A unique feature, "Greg Trott's Woodhenge," adds a touch of mystique and pays homage to the founder's creative spirit.
Wirra Wirra's commitment to sustainability is evident in its environmentally responsible winemaking practices and dedication to sustainable viticulture. Beyond winemaking, the winery plays a dynamic role in the cultural life of McLaren Vale by hosting events, concerts, and art exhibitions, making it not only a winemaking destination but also a vibrant cultural hub. With a rich heritage, outstanding wines, and a strong sense of community and culture, Wirra Wirra Vineyards continues to be a revered and prominent institution in the Australian wine landscape.
