Pirathon Gold Label Shiraz

Pirathon Gold Label Shiraz 2021 from the Barossa Valley is a premium reserve, single‑vineyard shiraz that delivers serious north‑western Barossa power and polish – dense dark fruit, luxury oak and long‑term cellaring potential.wines.

Layers of ripe blackberry, dark cherry and plum are complemented by dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla and spice from 18 months in French oak hogsheads (half new), giving opulent yet well‑integrated flavour. The palate is full‑bodied, generous and mouth‑coating, surging with bright dark fruit and licorice, sleek, polished tannins and harmonious acidity, with very good length – critics see it comfortably in the 95‑point band and recommend drinking over the next 10–12 years.

From an Adelaide‑based sommelier’s lens, Pirathon Gold Label Shiraz 2021 is tailor‑made for char‑grilled porterhouse, slow‑roast beef ribs or venison pie, where its power, chocolate‑oak complexity and structure can really shine. It’s a “something special” Barossa red for big dinners and cellars, crafted from a low‑yield Marananga vineyard (around one tonne per acre) and barrel‑selected from the best parcels.
