Wirra Wirra Angelus Cabernet Sauvignon

The ¾ tonne Wirra Wirra bell is rung to announce the start and finish of each vintage in McLaren Vale and for other suitable celebrations. For generations its voice rang out thrice daily at 6 am, midday and 6 p.m. from the Jesuit Church in Norwood, South Australia, calling the faithful to ‘The Angelus’ prayer. In honour of that tradition, the name ‘The Angelus’ is reserved only for exceptional parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, which are selected and vinified at Wirra Wirra Vineyards. ‘The Angelus’ is traditionally a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from the McLaren Vale region.

The aromas are concentrated & slightly spicy, with berry, blackcurrant & cherry fruit aromas. There are hints of mint, cedary French oak & berry– fruit bouquet with tobacco/cigar box characteristics. The palate is complex lingering, ripe cherry flavours with excellent length & balance. The spicy, smoky oak is well integrated with long, fine-grained tannins on the finish.
