Wirra Wirra Mrs Wigley Moscato has a light straw yellow color with a hint of salmon. Delightful 'muscat' nose, with aromas of summer flowers, musk and orange peel. In the mouth a bowl of Turkish delight and summer berries. Very good balance between the fresh acidity, the low alcohol content, the sweet fruit and the lively soft effervescence on the tongue.
Mrs. Wigley was the name of a sweet cat who lived in the cellars of Van Wirra Wirra for many years. The wines of the same name are a tribute to her youthful, lively, playful, loving and reliable character. The grapes come mainly from McLaren Vale, with additions from New South Wales and Riverland.
Delicious with sweet-spicy Thai chicken with lemongrass and pickled vegetables, berry pancakes with fresh ricotta and a little honey, with Panna Cotta and summer berries and or oranges.
Great easily digestible wine for the terrace, the lounge, parties and discotheques.

The Aboriginal name 'Wirra Wirra' means 'among the gum trees'. Founder Bob Wigley's wines, especially from the Syrah grape, were very popular in London. The wines have been exported around the world for over 100 years. In 1936 most of the vineyards were sold by the family and the wine cellars fell into disuse. In 1969, Greg and Roger Trott bought the dilapidated winery and some surrounding land. The two first cousins brought their own vineyards into the new company and started making wine, aided by the local wine producers.
McLaren Vale is located in the state of South Australia, a 45-minute drive from the capital Adelaide. It is famous as a culinary paradise full of tasty culinary specialties and great wines. The Mediterranean climate is tempered by the proximity of the Saint Vincent gulf. The summers are warm and the winters are moderate. Precipitation (580-700 mm per year) mainly falls in winter. During the warm season, humidity is low and evaporation is high. Little or no chance of frost during the growing period or rain during harvest. Depending on the type of soil and location, we work without irrigation or with drip irrigation. Wirra Wirra Winery has its own dam and water recycling installation. The vineyards work biodynamically.
