Wirra Wirra Vintage Bell
Wirra Wirra Vintage Bell is a delicious red wine from the famous McLaren Vale wine region in Australia. This classic blend is made from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The winemaking process combines traditional techniques with modern innovation, resulting in a rich and complex wine that captures the essence of the region's unique terroir.
Wirra Wirra Vintage Bell is a deep dark red colored wine. In the nose ripe notes of wild and black currants and rhubarb alongside herbs (oregano, rosemary) and spices (nutmeg) mixed with oak accents, smokiness and toffee notes. Cedar wood and dark berry fruit predominate, wine with a lot of spice and length, both opulent and austere, voluptuous, but tight, layered with notes of toffee, coffee and chocolate.
Ripe tannins and good acidity give the wine bite and backbone, everything is nicely fused. To a balanced structure.
This wine is named after the bell in the church tower The Angelus in Australia, but this wine is not allowed to be called that in Europe, because of that one famous St. Emilion wine with the same name.

Wirra Wirra Vineyards
The Aboriginal name 'Wirra Wirra' means 'among the gum trees'. Founder Bob Wigley's wines, especially from the Syrah grape, were very popular in London. The wines have been exported around the world for over 100 years. In 1936 most of the vineyards were sold by the family and the wine cellars fell into disuse. In 1969, Greg and Roger Trott bought the dilapidated winery and some surrounding land. The two first cousins brought their own vineyards into the new company and started making wine, aided by the local wine producers.
McLaren Vale is located in the state of South Australia, a 45-minute drive from the capital Adelaide. It is famous as a culinary paradise full of tasty culinary specialties and great wines. The Mediterranean climate is tempered by the proximity of the Saint Vincent gulf. The summers are warm and the winters are moderate. Precipitation (580-700 mm per year) mainly falls in winter. During the warm season, humidity is low and evaporation is high. Little or no chance of frost during the growing period or rain during harvest. Depending on the type of soil and location, we work without irrigation or with drip irrigation. Wirra Wirra Winery has its own dam and water recycling installation. The vineyards work biodynamically.
