Wirra Wirra Catapult Shiraz

TASTING NOTE
Deep black plum at the core with a pure, mulberry hued rim. Plums and blackberries at the fore with mulberry, five spice and pepper. The gentle influence of creamy, vanillin oak amplifies the deep, ripe berry fruit. In the palate, it is a generous and fruit-forward palate, loaded with plums, cassis and milk chocolate. Rich fruits are laced with vanilla bean, cedar and graphite, finishing with fine, powdery tannins.

Service Temperature: 16 – 18°C

Decanting: Recommended for at least 1 – 2 hours.

Food Pairing:
Pairs well with five-spice short ribs or a papardelle and mushroom ragu with garlic, oregano and thyme.

Awards:

The late Greg Trott saw many of his unusual dreams realized at Wirra Wirra. Yet one vision eluded him – to build a medieval siege machine or trebuchet. Why? To use as a catapult to bomb neighboring wineries with bottles of wine of course. This wine is part of a range, the RGT collection which remembers the pioneering spirit of Richard Gregory Trott.
