The Four Pillars team draw inspiration from the traditional purple hued sloeberry Gins, taking the pick of Shiraz grapes from each vintage, to craft a brightly coloured, piquantly juniper flavoured Eaux de vie.
The felicitous berries are treated to daily stirring over the course of eight weeks maceration, to be bottled without any filtration, for the development of expansive fruit richness and engaging Yarra Valley Shiraz complexity.
Unlike Sloe Gin, the alcohol is 37.8% (rather than <30%) so it packs a punch and is ideal in a range of cocktails.
Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin is best consumed within two years of vintage.
The gin is unfiltered and will develop secondary fruit characters beyond two years.
