Pirramimma Hartfell Shiraz 2022

Pirramimma and its multi-generational custodians, the Johnston family, Geoff now at the helm, has a long association with its home region of McLaren Vale, confidently working the big and bold seam of the region’s traditional reds. This wine is no exception, redolent of rich berry and bramble fruit with coconutty oak to begin while echoing those familiar aromas in the palate with a turbo boosted heave of dark plum and blackberry fruit rising out of the depths, sweet and rich when revealed, gripped with a firm glove of tannins to add to its undeniable full-bodied character. A powerful Shiraz style statement.
