Greg Trott saw many dreams realised at Wirra Wirra. 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.

History
The late Greg Trott saw many of his unusual dreams realised at Wirra Wirra. Yet one vision eludedhim - to build a medieval siege machine, or trebuchet. Why? To use as a catapult to bomb neighbouring wineries with bottles of wine of course. This wine is part of a range, the RGT collection which remembers the pioneering spirit of Richard Gregory Trott.

Regional Information
McLaren Vale's favourable climate and geographical factors make it ideal for grape growing and producing regionally distinctive wines year after year. The climate is characterised by warm summers, moderate winters, winter-dominant rainfall. Rain during the harvest period and frost are rare. For the viticulturist this means less likelihood of crop damage and low disease pressure.

Current Vintage
2017

Vinification Details
Catapult grapes were fermented separately and each vineyard parcel was tasted twice daily by the winemakers. Once the desired levels of colour, flavour and texture for the Catapult style were achieved, the wine was aged for 9 months in French oak. This ageing maintains a bright, fresh and fruit-drivenstyle of shiraz.
