"The vignerons of McLaren Vale were wildly ecstatic about the ’21 vintage, and finding this wine at this price 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 savoury, ripe tannins." (James Halliday)
These guys are a bit nuts - named after a late winemaker who had a vision of slinging bottles of his yummy McLaren Vale reds to neighbouring vineyards!

How high? Well this 2021 release is an absolute belter backed by making it into James Halliday’s prestigeous Top 100 Wines of 2022 and a Double Gold medal at the NZ International Wine Show!

Scoring it a whopping 95/100 Halliday said “The vignerons of McLaren Vale were wildly ecstatic about the ’21 vintage, and finding this wine at this price 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 savoury, ripe tannins.”

Produced by the bunch at the Wirra Wirra vineyard that can only be described as a bit nuts. They’ve honoured the late and legendary McLaren Vale wine figure Greg Trott by naming a wine after a vision he had of creating a catapult to sling bottles of yummy McLaren Vale reds over to neighbouring vineyards. What a nutter!

In their own words “Would he be pleased? Not with the fuss, but certainly with the wine. Sure to bring a smile. Just like Trott.”
