Winery Tasting Notes
The wine displays aromas of spicy Satsuma plum, black cherry, bramble and raspberry, with hints of red Frangipani and toasted coffee bean oak. The intense palate delivers spicy mulberry, loganberry, liquorice and dark chocolate notes, enhanced by traces of cranberry, pepper and cedary oak. Approachable now but will develop with proper cellaring.
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.
