Overview
The outstanding 2015 vintage guaranteed slow ripening and distinctive varietal character for the late Petit Verdot and the robust Shiraz. We believe these two varieties complement each other perfectly. We selected Petit Verdot from the OTC, Siberia, Jones and Katunga vineyards, with the Shiraz parcels from the Bellevue, Johnston Prolific, Katunga and Stubble Quail blocks.

Winery Profile
5-Star Winery - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011 Edition
In 1892 Alexander Campbell Johnston planted the first small vine cuttings on his newly purchased 97 hectare property in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Alexander settled with his family on the property and proudly named it ‘Pirramimma’, an Aboriginal phrase meaning ‘the moon and the stars’. More than 115 years and three generations later the Johnston Family still operates one of Australia’s oldest and proudest family owned and run wineries - Pirramimma. Making wines that range from the traditional to the innovative, Pirramimma is pure McLaren Vale. As one of the original landholders in the region the family is committed to its home and the regionally unique wines they produce.
Geoff Johnston, Grandson of Alexander, is the modern custodian of the family heritage. The Johnston family have grown the property from 97 hectares in 1892 to 250 hectares today. The family philosophy is to produce wines from estate grown grapes, ensuring the highest quality standards are met and the unique regional characters are displayed.

"With 120 years of winemaking history, it is a great achievement from the team to win any Trophy in such a competitive industry, but to win a major Trophy at one of the Worlds most important Wine Competitions is a tremendous result for McLaren Vale and Pirramimma" Geoff said.
