Pirathon Silver (previously know as Pirathon Shiraz) has won many awards throughout the years and the 2016 vintage maintains that level of premium consistency.
Grape lots were carefully selected and aged in new and seasoned oak barrels before carefully blended.
The resulting wine is plump, rich and full-bodied. It is so generously flavoured with complex ripe dark fruits.

The palate is plump, rich and full-bodied. It is so generously flavoured with complex ripe dark fruits. This intense fruit is supported by apparent but not intrusive oak, adding further complexity and richness. There are natural fine chalky tannins giving the wine a robust structure. It is seamless with all elements in perfect harmony. A very lengthy finish completes this solid wine. This is an extremely balanced Shiraz with fruit, oak and tannin working together.Appearance
Intense deep magenta-black with purple hues.
Aroma
Very lifted with complex and classic Barossa notes of fruit cake, dark plum, chocolate and blackberry along with toasty oak and a hint of clove spice.
