From some of the oldest grenache blocks in McLaren Vale, came the opportunity to create a wine whose heritage dates back to our founder Robert Strangways Wigley's time. Wigley was an eccentric whose lust for life had at times seen him fall foul of the law in his hometown. In fact, one episode involving the ‘acquisition’ of the famous Adelaide pie-cart and a joy ride through the city streets was the catalyst for banishment to McLaren Vale. However, Wigley did not abscond into the wilderness. He became known for his world-class wines - including fortified made with the grenache of the day - and helped to build the reputation of McLaren Vale.
