Wirra Wirra Scrubby Rise Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Planted in 1972, the original Scrubby Rise vineyards at Wirra Wirra sit on ancient rocks more than 100,000 years old. The fact that they are totally flat and contain no “scrub” or bush whatsoever was of more interest to the late Greg Trott, who gave them their dubious name. As one might call a redhead “Bluey” or a tall man “Shorty”, Trott drew on traditional Aussie humour to make the point that you shouldn’t take life too seriously.
"A juicy wine picked at precisely the right time, allowing both faces of sauvignon blanc to express themselves: tropical guava, passionfruit on one side, pea pod, grass and asparagus on the other - all with respect for each other... 91pts" (Halliday).
