Pirramimma War Horse Shiraz

Crafted in the famed McLaren Vale region of South Australia, Pirramimma "War Horse" Shiraz is a powerhouse red wine that epitomizes the bold, opulent, and deeply concentrated style for which both the estate and the region are globally celebrated. Founded in 1892 by Alexander Johnston, Pirramimma—an Aboriginal word meaning "the moon and the stars"—is one of Australia's most historic family-owned wineries. Sourced from prized, low-yielding old vines rooted in McLaren Vale's ancient ironstone and clay soils, "War Horse" is selected only from exceptional barrels that display extraordinary muscle, depth, and structural intensity. Following traditional open-top fermentation, the wine undergoes long maturation in fine American and French oak barrels, allowing its rich fruit profile to integrate seamlessly with firm, velvety oak tannins.

Food Pairing: Slow-braised beef short ribs, grilled ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce, roasted leg of lamb, wild game, rich barbecue brisket, and aged sharp cheddar cheeses.
