Long respected for the consistency of its white wines, Wirra Wirra has now established an equally formidable reputation for its reds. Right across the board, the wines are of exemplary character, quality and style, The Angelus Cabernet Sauvignon and RSW Shiraz battling with each other for supremacy. Long may the battle continue under the direction of new managing director Andrew Kay following the retirement of highly respected Tim James, particularly in the wake of the death of the universally loved co-founder/owner Greg Trott in early 2005. In Dec ’07 Wirra Wirra purchased the 20-ha Rayner Vineyard (with blocks dating back to the 1950s), which had hitherto supplied Brokenwood with the grapes for its eponymous icon Shiraz. There has been a smooth transition since long-serving winemaker Samantha Connew decided to take a break to complete her masters degree and run in the New York Marathon. Exports to all major markets.
