The late Greg Trott, achieved many great things in his colourful lifetime. Yet one vision eluded him - to build a medieval siege machine or trebuchet. Why? To bomb neighbouring wineries with bottles of fine wine in the hope they would reciprocate the favour. With plans on the drawing board the ever-enthusiastic Wirra Wirra tribe is ready to fulfil Trotty’s dream. But for now, we honour his pioneering spirit with the release of a new wine, aptly named Catapult (it’s easier to pronounce than trebuchet) hurling a slight splash of Viognier into our highly revered Shiraz, the result is a rich, opulent wine, brimming with intense fruit and a hint of spice. Producer Where no idea is deemed too big, outlandish or improbable; where eccentricity has been the rule rather than the exception and having fun is a serious business. If your winery is home to a 3/4 tonne bell that you ring either on occasion or randomly; a boundary fence known as ”Woodhenge” made from massive threaded redgum posts; a giant outdoor ”bush” sculpture of a cricket bat, ball and stumps. . . If you celebrate your late ”second founder’s” annual birthday by hurling watermelons into a vineyard from a giant medieval siege machine (trebuchet) and you acknowledge Australia’s most famous equestrian race by running around the grounds with your colleagues astride a broomstick topped with a cut-out horse head. . . If you are serious about the wine you make, the wines you drink and the biodynamic vines you grow - but believe that everything else should be fun. . . then welcome to the Wirra Wirra tribe.
