The Iconic Legacy: Church Block & The Heritage of Wirra Wirra
Founded in 1891 by former Australian cricketer Robert Strangways Wigley, Wirra Wirra is an Aboriginal name meaning “Among the Gums.”
Re-established in 1969 by Greg Trott, the estate became famous for its eccentric spirit (including building a functional wooden catapult on site) and unwavering dedication to quality. First created in 1972, Church Block stands as one of Australia’s most beloved red blends, setting a benchmark for consistency, structure, and food-friendly elegance across five decades.
