The Shy Pig Shiraz 2024

The Shy Pig Shiraz is a soft, juicy South Eastern Australian red packed with fresh red berry flavour, gentle cedar and a warming flicker of spice. A touch of fruit sweetness gives the palate a generous, rounded feel, while smooth tannins keep everything approachable rather than heavy. At 12.5% alcohol, it is a relaxed Shiraz for weeknight dinners, barbecues and casual gatherings. Pair it with sticky barbecue ribs, marinated steak or a loaded cheeseburger, and do not be surprised if this supposedly shy pig disappears quickly.

What the winery says:

The fruit was machine harvested from selected vineyards across South Eastern Australia and brought to the Buronga Hill winery in the Sunraysia district of southern New South Wales. This hot, dry area has long sunshine hours that encourage full ripening, with irrigation required because of the low rainfall and high evaporation. The 2024 wine is ruby red, with fresh red berry, cedar and spice aromas. The palate is luscious and fruit-driven, with upfront sweetness, integrated soft tannins and a spicy finish.
