Villa 5: Wirra Wirra | Church Block
Wirra Wirra Vineyards is one of McLaren Vale’s most renowned wineries. From its inception in 1894 by Robert Strangways Wigley, the winery produced many fine wines. After Robert’s death in 1926, the winery deteriorated and was abandoned. The late Greg Trott rebuilt the winery in 1969.
Church Block
Greg Trott’s first wine under the Wirra Wirra was Church Block in 1972. The name is from the first vineyards, next to the small Bethany Church (1854) across the road from Wirra Wirra’s century old ironstone cellars. For more than 40 years the Church Block is firmly entrenched as an Aussie icon.
The world’s largest cork sculpture – a 10M tall bottle of Church Block was created for 10 years of production.
