Dead Ringer

Cabernet Sauvignon

(Available in all markets except Australia)

Dead Ringer: Colloquial for “resemble exactly”. Wirra Wirra Dead Ringer Cabernet Sauvignon is known as The Angelus Cabernet Sauvignon in Australia.

As our renowned Angelus bell rang in the 2004 vintage, the international “naming police” targeted Wirra Wirra about the nomenclature of our flagship Cabernet Sauvignon (whose name is shared by the aforementioned bell and an “Old World” chateau). As good law-abiding Bell Ringers we acquiesced when challenged and the wine is now known as the Dead Ringer.

Our ¾ tonne bell was the original “dead ringer”, having been resurrected from an old Adelaide junkyard to its proud place atop our winery tower, so we decided to honour its story with the wine that has won international acclaim.
