Matt and Daz have a quick look at the Wirra Wirra 'Church Block' Cabernet Shiraz Merlot 2018...
From a fabulous cellar door to a working trebuchet (g'head, Google it), Wirra Wirra is a storied McLaren Vale winery, brought back to life from it's 1894-1925 past life by Greg Trott and his cousin Roger. Paul Smith is their current winemaker and their main motto? ‘Don’t #@^% it up!’ It is known to be kooky, outrageous and indefatigable in pursuit of great wine. In town? Go there.

This is our go to dinner in my home. If you haven’t had beef cheeks then you are missing out! Granted this recipe takes a little time to make but the beauty of it is it freezes AWESOMELY.
winter staple in the boss' household. It's hearty, delicious and is a great excuse to open a bottle of red wine in the middle of the day!
Quite unlike like Miles Raymond in the awesome film 'Sideways' ... if anyone orders Merlot, I'm staying.

Wirra Wirra has a deserved reputation for great wine and large-scale lunacy. Flying watermelons, giant bells, heroically-proportioned gates.... Their cellar door is an absolute must see for visitors to the Vale. And yes, that is a functioning trebuchet, so ignore the "catapult" description on the web page and refine your knowledge of medieval siege devices.
(And we would never be so persnickety as to point out that the name of the wirrawirra.com web page showing said device is "cataPLUT". Then again, the sound of this device hurling a bottle wine to it's liquid demise may be, phonetically, just that?)
Rescued from utter decrepitude in 1969 by Greg and Roger Trott, the winery actually originated in 1894. It was successful under the stewardship of its cricket-playing
Less than 40km south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale is another one of South Australia's renowned Shiraz producers, accounting for roughly 50% of grapes crushed annually.
Cabernet Sauvignon is unmistakably one of the world's most recognised red wine varieties. It is produced in most major wine growing regions across the world, from the banks of the Gironde in France to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley, to the valleys of California where it overtook the Zinfandel variety on it's rise to glory.
