Yet one eluded him - building a medieval siege machine, or trebuchet to use as a catapult; bombing neighbouring wineries with bottles of fine wine. Since his passing we have honoured the dream, crafting a trebuchet and a wine that symbolize his pioneering spirit. A shiraz that is classic McLaren Vale, yet bright and brimful of possibilities. Just like Trott.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountry of origin: Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePackage type: Glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContains Sulphites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrape variety: Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrent vintage: 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTasting notes: The Catapult shiraz is bright and bursting with juicy red fruits.

Early temperatures were maintained at 20-22 degrees, rising to 25-28 degrees at peak of ferment. In general, ferments were pumped over two to four times daily to assist flavour and colour extraction, as well as spreading heat through the cap and body of the ferment. Nearing completion and having achieved the desired flavour and tannin extraction, pump-overs were reduced to once or twice daily to keep the cap moist. Close to dryness, wine was drained from the fermenter and the remaining skins were pressed via tank or basket press. Wines completed their secondary malolactic fermentation in tank then filled to oak with barrel selection and maturation times tailored to each parcel - those showing a more powerful structure receiving a longer maturation time in oak before blending.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47749703074030,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-61780","price":28.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/640x640_edd2ecdf-417b-40d9-8b3e-7c5f9ec8fb2a.jpg?v=1775886036","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/wirra-wirra-catapult-mclaren-vale-shiraz-red-wine-750ml-m202661780","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
