Wirra Wirra Vineyards

Wirra Wirra is a historic winery located in McLaren Vale, South Australia, that was founded in 1894. The winery has a long and rich history, having been established by Robert Strangways Wigley, a man who was both a notable figure in the wine industry and a bit of an eccentric character. The winery was named after the local Aboriginal word for "amongst the gum trees", reflecting the beautiful natural surroundings of the estate.

Today, Wirra Wirra is one of the most well-respected wineries in Australia, with a reputation for producing high-quality wines that express the unique character of the McLaren Vale region. The winery is best known for its red wines, particularly Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, but it also produces a range of white wines, including Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

One of the hallmarks of Wirra Wirra is its commitment to sustainable viticulture and winemaking practices. The winery has implemented a number of initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, including the use of organic and biodynamic farming techniques, the installation of solar panels, and the recycling of water and other materials.
