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.

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.

  1. Campbell Mattinson

    “Full-bodied red wine at a frankly enticing price. Blackberries and plums, cloves and dark
    chocolate flavours with whispers or infusions of liquorice. The flavours come straight at
    you, both uncomplicated and plush. If you’re looking for ample flavour, this is a very good
    option.”
    – The Wine Front, Campbell Mattinson

  2. James Halliday

    “The vignerons of McLaren Vale were wildly ecstatic about the ’21 vintage, and this wine
    explains their joy. It’s the essence of McLaren Vale Shiraz; medium to full-bodied, laden
    with black fruits of all kinds, dark chocolate, licorice, and savory, ripe tannins.”

    – The Weekend Australian Magazine, James Halliday

  3. James Suckling

    “Aromas of plums, resin, red tea, and sweet paprika. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Notes of
    resin and sap characterize the bright red fruit on the palate. Bark at the finish.”

    – James Suckling
