92 Points James Halliday - Gold Medal AWC Vienna International Wine Challenge Limited release wine
Here we have a belter of a shiraz from Pirramimma that is bound to satisfy the fussiest of palates
This is Pirramimma’s definitive Shiraz, the best they have been able to make in 120 years of winemaking. The miniscule grape yield provided by the old contoured low trellis vines, presented us with the quintessential McLaren Vale Shiraz
The intense palate delivers spicy mulberry, red liquorice, cranberry, star of anise and dark chocolate which is enhanced by quality cedary oak and hints of morello cherry. This handcrafted wine is superbly balanced by seam of firm structural tannins, well integrated oak and great length of flavour.
