Wirra Wirra DEAD RINGER Cabernet Sauvignon McLaren Vale South Australia
Description: Wirra Wirra The Angelus, a wine that has built a reputation for classic Australian cabernet sauvignon on the back of the best McLaren Vale and Coonawarra fruit available since 1989, is being exported under the name of Dead Ringer. Its name is taken from the 3/4 tonne Angelus bell at Wirra Wirra that is rung to celebrate the commencement of each McLaren Vale vintage. The Angelus has been well reviewed across Australia and the globe, with the current 2001 vintage receiving high praise from leading wine writers. This wonderfully ripe aromatic Cabernet varietal wine is dense cherry/garnet in colour. Complex, lingering, ripe berry fruits with excellent length and balance. The wine has the intensity of fruit associated with McLaren Vale Cabernet, integrated with the cooler climate minty characters and firm tannins derived from the Coonwarra component. The wine will develop and mature over a number of years, but very able to be enjoyed in it's youth. Serve at room temperature, less than 18c with full flavoured foods especially robust dishes like oxtail stew, almost all red meats, game and strong cheeses. (6 x 75 cl)
