A bold fusion of gin artistry and winemaking tradition, Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin hails from Australia’s Yarra Valley and has quickly become a global phenomenon. This innovative spirit begins with Four Pillars' award-winning Rare Dry Gin, which is then steeped with locally sourced Shiraz grapes. The result? A vividly hued, intensely flavorful gin that balances rich fruit character with classic juniper backbone.
Each vintage is unique, shaped by the season's Shiraz harvest, creating a once-a-year release that combines the structure of a dry gin with the depth and color of a fine red wine. It’s a gin unlike any other—visually striking, aromatically lush, and endlessly versatile.

1. Is Bloody Shiraz Gin sweet?
It’s naturally sweet from the Shiraz grape infusion, but it's well-balanced with the dry spice of the base gin—somewhere between a liqueur and a traditional gin.
2. Can I drink it straight?
Absolutely. It’s excellent served over ice, especially with an orange wedge or lemon twist to enhance the citrus and berry notes.
3. How should I store it?
Keep it in a cool, dark place. Once opened, it’s best enjoyed within a few months to preserve its fresh fruit character.
