Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin 37.8% 700 mL

The 2019 release offers us a beautiful balance of sweetness and nice tannins on the finish. Thanks to a terrific season for Victorian cool climate Shiraz that has given us another good of a Bloody Shiraz Gin vintage. After a good spring rain, summer brought serious heat resulting in more dominant dark fruit notes than 2018 – tons of delicious plum and blackberry.

Straight up you've got those pine forest notes, white pepper and spices. The ABV of this totally unique gin is 37.8%, unlike Sloe Gin where the alcohol less than 30%. So, it packs a punch and is ideal in a range of cocktails. The gin is unfiltered, so it will develop secondary fruit characters beyond two years, and is best consumed within two years of vintage.

Drink it young and fresh with red berry and spice characters, or enjoy it as it develops.
