Mrs Wigley Moscato
3rd October 2014
“Wirra Wirra” is an aboriginal name meaning “amongst the gum trees”. Wirra Wirra Vineyards was originally established in 1894 by known South Australian eccentric and cricketer Robert Strangways Wigley.
Mrs Wigley was not the wife of Wirra Wirra founder Bob Wigley, but a particular pussycat who was born at the neighbouring Petrucci residence. within days her mum had dragged the litter to settle in our open fermenters, and from then on Mrs Wigley became a permanent feature of the cellars.
