The 2009 Pirathon Shiraz is a powerful and balanced Shiraz with fruit, oak and tannin working together to provide harmony.
This vintage was brilliant with ideal conditions reflected in this big and bold classic Barossa Shiraz.
This wine is a paramount expression of north-western Barossa Shiraz that will reward time in the cellar for 5-10 years.

Tasting Notes
Palate
The palate is full bodied with flavours of dark red fruit, plum and a hint of pepper spice. It is generous, mouth-filling and beautifully balanced with vibrant fruit, subtle oak, stylish integrated tannin and a faultless structure. A generous length and clean persistant finish completes this wine.
Appearance
Rich purple-black in colour
Aroma
The aroma displays lifted bright fruits of juicy redcurrant and blueberry toether with florals, musk and a hint of cocoa.
