Description

Here is an excellent example of the controlled power that Giaconda exemplifies when handling Shiraz.

This Beechworth Shiraz is matured in a multitude of different vessels, from small French oak barrels to 1600L casks, and terracotta amphora. An incredible 10 months on skins allow for the tannins in this wine to soften and integrate fully into the wine before release.

It's classic Beechworth, combining bold blue fruits, charcuterie notes and epic depth of flavour. It's a fantastic example of Victorian Shiraz that will do very well with 5+ years in the cellar.

"A wine that unfurls gloriously in slow motion – what a lovely shiraz ride... Discipline will be needed to cellar it for as long as it deserves."
- Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

"Rich, sweet dark fruit, damp earth and biscuit spice, lots of praline too, all that hazelnut and chocolate is a thing, also some cool mint and floral perfume... Love the feel of the tannin, though as a young wine, it’s kind of ebullient in fruit richness. Time should be kind to it."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

97 points - "A wine that unfurls gloriously in slow motion – what a lovely shiraz ride. Aromatic aromas hold your attention long and unwaveringly: dark plum, blackberry, wild bramble, raspberry leaf, aniseed, allspice, pepper, sage. Still a youngster with layer upon layer yet to fully explore. Sapid fine tannins drive the long palate with plenty of herb, spice and flecks of savouriness filling out the breadth of concentrated fruit flavour and beautifully woven oak. Discipline will be needed to cellar it for as long as it deserves." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

Rich, sweet dark fruit, damp earth and biscuit spice, lots of praline too, all that hazelnut and chocolate is a thing, also some cool mint and floral perfume. Medium to full-bodied, sweet uptake of plum and cherry, and again that hazelnut chocolate theme is repeated on the palate, tannin is fine-grained, and kind of sooty, there’s also clay and petrichor, and the finish is long and packed with choc-mint richness. Love the feel of the tannin, though as a young wine, it’s kind of ebullient in fruit richness. Time should be kind to it." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Luscious and captivating, with dark plums, cassis and subtle briar notes that demand your attention are backed by a stridently confident palate. The textural nature of this wine and glossy tannins are a work of art. Time will reward those who cellar this most complete Giaconda shiraz!
