Giaconda Estate Vineyard Shiraz
Giaconda Estate Vineyard Shiraz is founded on the meagre, sub-alpine granitic soils that have come to define Beechworth’s terroir and its inimitable expression of weight, intensity and drive, underlain by an uncanny levity of being. Giaconda Estate Vineyard Shiraz is an apogee of inimitable power and weightlessness, unravelling across a raft of violet, clove, peppercorn, dried nori and blueberry fruit accents, before a second wave of graphite, tapenade and charcuterie comes into play. The feel is one of richness, yet the finish is energetic, taut and almost balletic, serving as a springboard to impressive length and longevity.
