Pitchfork Shiraz 2024 from Margaret River is a juicy, modern Aussie shiraz that leans more on bright berry fruit and spice than heavy Barossa‑style power. It is the kind of red you can open any night of the week – generous, smooth and made to drink rather than to analyse.

Expect vivid blackberry, plum and black cherry, with hints of blueberry, baking spice, a little vanilla and a savoury lick of pepper and cocoa. The palate usually sits medium‑bodied with soft, ripe fruit, gentle tannins and a plush, rounded feel, finishing dry with just enough spice and acidity to keep it fresh. It is all about easy, crowd‑pleasing flavour.

Pitchfork Shiraz 2024 is a natural with pizza, burgers, sausages off the barbie or a mid‑week spaghetti bolognese, and it will happily sit alongside a cheese and charcuterie board. Think of it as a reliable house shiraz that offers proper Margaret River polish for a very fair price.
