It's well known that Shiraz and Cabernet make good bedfellows, but in a rare case of three's company, a tranche of Petit Verdot takes Scrubby Rise to another level, contributing vibrant colour and rich fragrances. All three varietals conspire to achieve the balance, elegance and structure of this sensational effort by Wirra Wirra. Scrubby Rise is a triumvirate of solid structure and generous fruit, It's the acid however which keeps the wine fresh without being weighed down by heavy tannins.
Located directly in front of the Wirra Wirra's century old ironstone cellars, the Scrubby Rise vineyard and it's marvellous soils produce some of the best Shiraz and Cabernet from season to season. Scrubby Rise also includes components from the estate's Finniss River Vineyard, twenty minutes south of the cellars on the Fleurieu Peninsula, as well as a drop or two from Blewitt Springs and Willunga. Quite rare in its varietal composition, the final blend has been chosen to construct a wine that displays balance, elegance, complexity and structure. Judicious use of seasoned French and American oak ensures that each individual batch achieves optimal sensory balance prior to assemblage.
TASTING NOTES
Brilliant deep crimson with vibrant cherry red edge. Lifted red fresh fruits with a hint of blackberry rounded out by fragrant, spicy oak and a suggestion of mocha. Bright fresh raspberry notes dominate with a blackberry core backed up by silky tannins, finishing with a clean and vibrant freshness. Subtle oak plays a supportive role, adding to the appeal.
 Wirra Wirra
The Wirra Wirra Cellars were built by Robert Strangways Wigley, one of the McLaren Vale's all time characters
Wigley began building at the turn of the century using Dr. A.C. Kelly's plans of a split-level design that his friend Alec Johnston had used to build the Pirramimma winery. Wirra Wirra is an aboriginal name meaning amongst the gums. Born in 1864, Bob Wigley studied Law and Architecture and managed to play cricket for South Australia. His wild pranks as a young man had already made him somewhat of an embarrassment to his family. In 1893 he was prudently sent to rusticate in McLaren Vale. He planted the vineyard in 1894 and made his first wine with Alec Johnston in 1897. By 1901 he was the owner of one of the best wineries and vineyards in the district with 100 acres under vines and 15 acres under currants. Wirra Wirra»
