Tasting Notes
Appearance
Blue Pyrenees Estate Section One Shiraz 2024 presents a medium purple-red hue with excellent depth and clarity — the hallmark of a single-site Pyrenees Shiraz sourced from 50-year-old estate vines, naturally low cropping at 3.5 tonnes per hectare and machine harvested in the early hours of 15 March 2024. Elegant and immediately compelling in the glass.
Aroma
Ripe forest berry fruits and lifted violets open with high-toned floral aromatics that are the signature of Blue Pyrenees Estate’s oldest Shiraz vines — nuanced by subtle aromas of five spice and graphite derived from fine grain French oak. A nose of genuine purity, delicacy and complexity that speaks eloquently of the Pyrenees terroir and the maturity of the estate’s Section One vines.
Palate
Intense blueberry fruit is layered by white pepper and sandalwood spice with a purity and precision that is immediately impressive — a clean acid line directs the classic medium-bodied palate from front to back with seamless structure and length. Fine, powdery tannins elongate the finish with elegance and refinement. A Shiraz of exceptional balance, purity and long-term cellaring potential.
Pairs With
A natural match for roasted lamb rack, duck confit, beef tenderloin or a classic Pyrenees charcuterie board — equally outstanding alongside wild mushroom risotto, aged hard cheeses or a slow-braised Provençal lamb. The blueberry fruit, white pepper, sandalwood spice and fine powdery tannins make this one of the most elegant and rewarding cool-climate Shiraz expressions from Victoria. Drink now through 2039+.
