Wirra Wirra Scrubby Rise Red Adelaide

When the late greg trott christened a flat barren landscape at the front of our winery ‘scrubby rise’ he started a theme that things aren’t always as they seem at wirra wirra. In keeping with trott’s laid back aussie humour today the vineyard is overlooked by a viewing platform known as ‘the jetty’ while a well dressed gent in a red boat rows between the vines. The message is not to take life too seriously. Colour: deep plum with a bright crimson edge. Bouquet: bright ripe raspberry and sweet mulberry fruits laced with fragrant cabernet leaf and dried herbs. Palate: juicy red berries ripe blue and black fruits as well as blood plum richness. The generous fleshy fruits are supported by supple tannins and provide a wine with great flavour freshness and balance. Drink: drink now to 5 years. Food match: lamb shoulder with mediterranean spices roast zucchini squash and capsicum. Vinification: individual vineyard parcels were crushed and destemmed to stainless static red
