The 2020 Wirra Wirra Amator Organic Shiraz is a certified organic McLaren Vale Shiraz that reflects both the region’s generosity and Wirra Wirra’s commitment to sustainable viticulture. Sourced from organically managed vineyards, the wine is crafted to highlight purity of fruit and vineyard character, delivering a balanced and expressive interpretation of McLaren Vale Shiraz. The 2020 vintage provided excellent ripening conditions, resulting in a wine with depth, freshness and impressive varietal definition.
On the palate, it is rich and beautifully structured, with flavours of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry complemented by notes of liquorice, dark chocolate, spice and subtle earthiness. Fine tannins provide shape and texture, while balanced acidity keeps the wine vibrant and focused. Gentle oak maturation adds complexity without overwhelming the fruit, leading to a long, savoury finish with lingering dark berry and spice notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking for an organically grown Shiraz that combines flavour concentration with balance and regional character. The combination of ripe fruit, savoury complexity and refined structure makes it highly versatile with food. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 6–8 years. Pair with grilled lamb, slow-cooked beef, barbecue dishes, mushroom-based cuisine or aged cheddar cheese.
