Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin is a cult-favourite creation from Australia’s Yarra Valley, where cool-climate Shiraz grapes meet the distillery’s award-winning Rare Dry Gin. First crafted in 2015 as a bold experiment, it has since become a global sensation – a vibrant fusion of sweet berry fruit and classic gin character, with a colour and flavour as striking as its name.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Fresh piney juniper is lifted by white pepper and spice on the nose, followed by a luscious palate of blackberry, plum and rich Shiraz grapes balanced against earthy botanicals. The finish is long, slightly tannic and dry, leaving a vivid impression of fruit and spice. At 37.8% ABV, it carries both presence and approachability, making it equally delicious neat, on ice, or in cocktails.

Craftsmanship
Born in the wine country of the Yarra Valley, Bloody Shiraz Gin was first created by steeping a parcel of local Shiraz grapes in Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin. The result was so delicious it sparked an annual tradition. Each vintage is made by steeping cool-climate Shiraz grapes in gin, before pressing and blending into a spirit that balances berry sweetness with classic juniper depth. Distilled in German-made copper stills, this gin embodies innovation with a nod to winemaking heritage.
