Wirra Wirra Vineyards was originally established in 1894 by known South Australian eccentric and cricketer Robert Strangways Wigley. The winery prospered in its early days, producing many wines including a much acclaimed Shiraz, which was exported to England and the Empire until his death in 1926. The winery ran into disrepair and was eventually abandoned. In 1969 under the watchful eye of the late Greg Trott and his cousin Roger, the winery was rebuilt from the remnants of two walls and some slate fermenting tanks. As with all subsequent Trott endeavours, it was the sheer magnitude and unlikeliness of the project that made it so attractive.
This white is brilliant, pale and clear with flashes of green. The sauvignon blanc provides lifted passionfruit, melon and gooseberry lift on the nose alongside the classic citrus notes of semillon. Juicy and zesty, early fruit on the palate is dominated by sauvignon blanc with grapefruit, citrus pith and stone fruits. The semillon provides fresh lemon juice and gives the wine length and a bright citrus spine.
