Pirramimma Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon
Who doesn’t love a little bit of low-yielding, full-bodied, South Australian cabernet? We know we do. Sourced from Pirramimma’s old cabernet vineyards in McLaren Vale, luscious blackberry, blueberry, mint and capsicum notes hum alongside cedar and toasted almond notes from time in oak. Secondary characters of black olive, tobacco and rosemary are starting to poke through as well. No need to rush though as this has another decade plus of development left in the bottle. For now or for the future, the choice is yours.
Pirramimma Heritage Cabernet Petit Verdot
Do you find yourself thinking that even big, bold cabernet is still a little on the light side for your taste? Are you after even more grip, flavour and density? Far be it from us to deny this craving. Welcome to the next heavyweight champion: the love child of cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot! Fun fact: Pirramimma were amongst the boom of petit verdot plantings in the 1980's, and their vines have been tended to with care through the highs and lows of its popularity. This wine is the next hottest thing: we're talking dense dark berries, a bit of bramble and herb, melting together with dark chocolate and freshly roasted coffee beans. Enough for you, mofo?
Pirramimma Stock's Hill Shiraz
Pirramimma Stock's Hill Shiraz has bright cherry aromas with sweet oak and a hint of spice give this wine real appeal on the nose. The palate is rich with flavours of blackberry and chocolate balanced by grippy tannins. Great value!
Pirramimma Heritage Tempranillo Shiraz
This superb wine offers some really good times indeed. Good times in the form of bold fruit, exotic spice and a velvety texture. If you like deep, complex reds that unfold in the glass and do well after an hour in a decanter - this is one for you. Shiraz brings spicy mulberry, fruit cake and pomegranate, and tempranillo really brings this wine together with cherry and a long fresh finish. There is a hint of oak which sits along with other more savoury notes of pepper and fresh rosemary. Let the good times roll.
Pirramimma Heritage Cabernet Shiraz
Here’s another vintage of this absolutely divine wine. Pirramimma are a fave of many (many, many) a ‘mofo, this time delivering their all-Aussie blend of cabernet and shiraz. From three of their best vineyards, including Ironstone, and some vines planted back in the 1950s, this wine shows off arguable the best vines of the region. A fine balance of the sweeter fine-tuned cassis of cabernet, with the plummy, blueberry and black cherry savoury notes of juicy shiraz. If you’ve had the chance to enjoy any of the Pirramimma wine in the past, this is sure to impress.
Pirramimma Geoff Johnston Milestone Shiraz
Geoff Johnston, an absolute icon of McLaren Vale. To know his name is to know the region, thanks to the devotion of talented and hard working wine growers, a collective who single-handedly put this unassuming beachside region on a global stage. In honour of his 50th vintage, this wine speaks to Geoff’s character: determined, endearing, and engaging. Geoff planted shiraz with his old man ‘Digby’ back in 1971, and today, this block of vines shows so much character reminiscent of time and place. Shiraz like this is knee-weakeningly good. Upfront dark fruits; plums and blackberries, carried along with mocha tones before reaching peaks of vanilla and spice (and all things nice). Just like the person it celebrates, this wine is all about a father and his son’s legacy. A celebration of family, in the wine game for the long haul.
