Red Runes Shiraz Gin

Long before wine labels told stories in bold fonts and sharp cuts, people scratched their truths into stone — simple marks with deeper meaning. Red Runes nods to that tradition. A bold Barossa spirit, speaking in its own way.

This gin kicks off where most would stop — starting with a classic base of Macedonian juniper and South Australian botanicals, then steeped for weeks in Barossa Shiraz from the Western Ridge. Rich, ripe fruit meets lifted citrus, chamomile, lavender and a dusting of spice — a blend shaped by both vineyard and still.

In the glass, it pours deep ruby with a violet edge. The nose is all choc-dipped raspberries, orange zest and soft floral lift, hinting at what’s to come. On the palate it’s plush and juicy — think dark berries, chocolate and citrus, wrapped up in warmth and structure with the juniper gently humming underneath.

A true original — this one holds court on the back bar or at home in your best glass. A must-have for gin lovers chasing something off the beaten path — whether it’s centre stage in a Negroni or poured neat to sip and savour.

A bottle that speaks in runes. A gin that speaks for itself.
