Back in 2015, while they were making gin out the back of their mate Rob Dolan's winery, a tiny parcel of Shiraz came in from one of the region's best vineyards. Distiller Cam Mackenzie decided to steep the grapes in Rare Dry Gin to see what would happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result was alcoholic alchemy: the gin turned a magical purple and picked up sweetness straight from the ripe grapes. Now each year the distillery takes local Yarra Valley Shiraz and steeps the whole berries in high-proof gin for eight weeks before pressing. The color stays a deep, rich reddish purple, and it has become a cult favorite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAromatically it shows fresh pine needles, citrus and spice, with distinct peppery, dense raspberry notes. The palate is lovely and sweet, with a long juniper and spice character on the finish: the marriage of Rare Dry Gin botanicals with delicious Shiraz fruit, and no added sugar, ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is gin, not sloe gin, so it packs a punch and works in a range of cocktails. Try it with tonic and an orange slice, in a Bloody Shiraz Spritz with sparkling wine, or in a Negroni.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pine needles, citrus, spice, peppery raspberry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet ripe Shiraz fruit, juniper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long juniper and spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four Pillars, Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gin steeped with Shiraz grapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole Shiraz berries steeped in Rare Dry Gin for eight weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e No added sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75.6 proof (37.8% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix it with tonic and an orange slice, top it with sparkling wine, or stir a Negroni.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhole Yarra Valley Shiraz grapes steep in Rare Dry Gin for eight weeks before pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a sloe gin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is a full gin with no added sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is it purple?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe color comes from the Shiraz grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003eGin collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Four Pillars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039719026997,"sku":"VWS_200420646","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-31785.webp?v=1793834657","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/four-pillars-bloody-shiraz-gin-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
