Description
Wirra Wirra RSW shiraz 2022
Each vintage of RSW is crafted from exceptional McLaren Vale Shiraz vineyards. The 2022 release consists of fruit from four blocks, three of which are from Wirra Wirra’s biodynamic Sandhill Vineyard. This north-facing vineyard, located just a stone’s throw from the winery, features a gentle slope with sandy loam over clay. While the blocks are neighbouring, each offers a distinctive expression of Shiraz. The final component comes from the elevated Blewitt Springs district, planted in 1969 on sandy soil. All four blocks were hand-harvested and vinified separately in open fermenters, with whole bunch inclusion and extended skin contact. The wine matured in French oak barriques (33% new) for 18 months.
COLOUR Inky purple with vibrant hue. BOUQUET Dark plum, mocha and nutmeg are layered with subtle hints of charcuterie, adding savoury complexity to the nose. PALATE Plush mulberry compote, sweet baking spices and dark chocolate unfold in luxurious layers, with fleshy fruits and spice seamlessly integrated for a harmonious expression
