Pirathon Silver Shiraz 2018 (Barossa Valley)

The 2018 Pirathon Silver Shiraz presents a deep red hue enriched with violet highlights. It offers a complex profile where savoury oak notes of cloves, toast, and warm spices blend seamlessly with black fruits and a hint of sarsaparilla. The palate is rich and inviting, featuring prominent dark fruits like blood plum and blackberry, framed by ripe, confident tannins. With exposure to air, savoury nuances such as black olive tapenade, nutmeg, and cured Barossa meats emerge. The oak maturation adds definite structure and texture, culminating in a long, expressive finish that will develop further with careful ageing.
