A luxury gin crafted using local Shiraz grapes from the region and aged in oak barrels. It makes a fantastic Gin & Tonic, where rosemary, lemon, or blood orange are excellent garnish choices.
Ruby red in the glass with purple hues. The aroma is filled with spicy notes and underlying hints of summer berries. The taste is warm, with notes of pepper, followed by raspberry, plum, and acacia.
Starting with a pure base spirit, lightly pressed Shiraz grapes are added, giving the gin its deep ruby-red color. After that, juniper, cardamom, star anise, bitter almonds, acacia berries, and pepper berries are incorporated, creating the gin’s impressive aromatic character and complexity.
About Buller Wines
Since its inception, Australian winery R.L. Buller & Son has evolved from being – one might almost say – an ordinary producer of fortified and table wines to achieving an almost cult-like status within the world of fortified wines. Buller has specialized in a unique style of fortified wine made using the traditional Spanish solera system for sherry. The finished wines are usually at least 10 years old on average, while specialties like Calliope approach an average of 50 years. And the results are outstanding – many have tried to replicate Buller’s artistry, both in Australia and worldwide, but so far without great success. As Robert Parker wrote in The Wine Advocate: “You have to taste them to believe it!!”
Buller Wines was founded in 1921 in Rutherglen, northeastern Victoria, by Reginald Langdon Buller. From humble beginnings nearly 100 years ago, Buller Wines today spans several wine regions, including Rutherglen, King Valley, Swan Hill, and Heathcote. The vision has always been to create a world-class winery that expresses the unique terroir of the region—and that vision has been realized.
The 22-hectare Buller Wines Estate Vineyard was planted by Reginald Langdon Buller in the early 1920s. Even today, more than half of the original vines still produce intensely concentrated, low-yield grapes. Rutherglen is internationally recognized as one of the world’s premier regions for fortified wines.

“AN IMPRESSIVE GIN!”
This is a pretty wild mash-up – an Australian gin that includes Shiraz red wine grapes, a variety widely grown in Australia. I must say, it’s an incredible combination that results in a gin with multiple layers and nuanced flavors. It offers aromas of fresh red berries – raspberry and strawberry – as well as pepper, licorice, and honey. It’s clear that the grapes add an extra and incredibly exciting element to this gin. It’s brilliant in a cocktail, for example, a classic Negroni, where the flavors truly shine. An impressive gin!
