Tasting Notes:

Deep dark plum red with a slight purple hue. Aromas of ripe plums, blackcurrant and dark cherries with a spicy cinnamon and baking spice overlay. Underlying tones of vanilla and mocha give lift to the nose. The palate is rich, with dominant blackcurrant and hints of dark plum, blackberry and dark chocolate with subtle violet floral lift. Good balanced acidity and smooth velvety tannins complement the spicy backbone of supporting oak giving additional complexity. An underlying savoury spice character is complimented by primary fruit characters with generous length and weight on the finish.

Technical:

Our Pilot Block range is named in recognition of the first trial vineyard planted by Chain of Ponds in 1985. The Pilot Block vineyard was planted with numerous varieties to test their suitability to cool climate conditions. The success of that trial started Chain of Ponds on its winemaking journey.

Grapes were sourced from premium vineyards and vinified to retain vibrant ripe plum and blackberry fruit characters. The wine was then matured in French oak for 12 months giving richness and complexity. We hope you enjoy this finely balanced, soft and elegant Shiraz.

Accolades & Awards:

90 Point Rated - Ray Jordan Wine Pilot

"A vibrant and lively fruit dominant shiraz from the Adelaide Hills. Loads of plummy black cherry aromas with a little peppery addition. The palate is soft and warm with rich fruit flavours balanced with a little oak and a lift of black pepper. It’s soft and supple and ideal in the short term."

90 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"It's elegantly lifted on the nose with sweet plum, floral, almond and subtle spice aromas, leading to a beautifully rounded palate offering succulent fruit flavours with rounded tannins, making it tasty and delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2027. $20.00"

"Brightly fruited and fragrant, showing dark plum, clove, floral and assorted nut aromas, the wine offers succulent fruit notes with smooth texture and rounded tannins. Medium-full and friendly, making it easy to enjoy. At its best: now to 2026. $20.00"
