Winemaking Sourced from select vineyards in McLaren Vale, Catapult Shiraz is a vibrant expression of the region’s bold red style. A small portion of Viognier is co-fermented with Shiraz, adding aromatic lift and silkiness. Matured in French oak for structure and spice, the 2022 vintage balances power with polish.
Bouquet Ripe blackberry and plum are met with floral notes of violet and spice. Hints of black pepper, mocha, and vanilla emerge with air.
Palate Full-bodied with dark fruit richness, smooth tannins, and a burst of black cherry, chocolate, and spice. The Viognier adds elegance, rounding out the plush texture and length.
Food Pairing Ideal with barbecued meats, slow-cooked beef, spiced lentil stew, or grilled portobello mushrooms. A wine that stands up to bold flavours.
Cellaring Drink now or cellar for up to 8 years. Decanting will bring out even more depth and detail.
Interesting Fact Named after the medieval-style catapult that sits at the entrance of the winery, this wine reflects Wirra Wirra’s love of tradition, storytelling, and seriously good Shiraz.
