Wirra Wirra 'Dead Ringer' Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (Case of 6 Bottles)

Founded by the late, eccentric visionary Greg Trott under the mantra to "never give misery an even break," this legendary McLaren Vale powerhouse beautifully marries serious winemaking with a wonderfully unorthodox spirit. Famed for hurling watermelons from a giant on-site medieval catapult and ringing a massive three-quarteC-R-ton bell, the estate has long been a pioneer of ecological sustainability and land conservation. Under the expert guidance of Chief Winemaker Emma Wood, Wirra Wirra transforms estate fruit and premium cool-climate Adelaide Hills blocks into celebrated, awarC-D-winning benchmarks—delivering generous, spice-laden Cab and pristine whites that radiate with exceptional purity, seamless structural elegance, and a vibrant, soulful energy.

Australia’s wine story began with colonial plantings in the late eighteenth century and took off through the work of early European settlers. The wine landscape is vast and varied, shaped by a mix of maritime, continental and desert-like influences across its key regions. Its appellation system is built around zones, which focus on geographic origin rather than strict rules on grape or style. Classic varieties such as Shiraz (Syrah), Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay lead the way, with Riesling and Grenache also playing important roles, plus a recent influx of ‘Mediterranean’ grapes are also turning heads. From the bold reds of Barossa to the cool climate elegance of Margaret River and Tasmania, Australia offers a huge spectrum of flavours. The country’s modern approach champions innovation, sustainability and a clear expression of place.

Bordered by rolling hills and a pristine coastline, McLaren Vale benefits from a true Mediterranean climate of warm days and cooling sea breezes. This unique coastal positioning yields wines of exceptional concentration and rich, velvety texture, while keeping the overall profile feeling beautifully vibrant and clean.
