Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin

Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin – Bloody awesome, bloody delicious and finally bloody here…

Four Pillars gin from Victoria are very excited to announce the release of Bloody Shiraz Gin #Vintage2017!

We know you all fell in love with this purple phenomenon last year. So you know that Bloody Shiraz Gin is the product of the awesome magic that happens when you combine Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin with cool-climate, Yarra Valley Shiraz grapes, some of the best in Australia.

And the beauty of Bloody Shiraz Gin being a product of vintage means that it will never be the same. The 2017 Vintage this year was cooler, giving a moderate but slightly longer ripening time. That means you’ll see a more vibrant ruby colour, with true Yarra Valley shiraz characters – earthiness, complexity and subtle white pepper spice. But still with that balanced sweetness of the previous releases.

Aromatically Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin has fresh pine needles and incredible spice, and a clear peppery, dense raspberry character. The palate is lovely and sweet, with long juniper and spice characters to finish. This release is slightly lighter in colour than last year’s, due to a moderate ripening period.

Unlike Sloe Gin, the alcohol is 37.8% (rather 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.
