Wirra Wirra has a very unique outlook on their winery. It was re-established in 1969 by Greg Trott. It was Greg who decided to set up the impressive wooden fence out the front of Wirra Wirra, made from old redgums. It was also Greg who had the idea to construct a medieval trebuchet. On his birthday the vineyard launch watermelons into the vineyards with the catapault in celebration.



Wirra Wirra is a picturesque spot, and it is well worth spending some time here as you make your way through the McLaren Vale wineries. Enjoy some wine and the brilliant view, and make sure you take some wines home to enjoy later.
