Details
Now maturing, his Pinot is a signal to the rest of the word that Australia can make Burgundian styles that are every bit as Burgundian as the Burgundians! Fine and silky, this elegant and tightly knit wine needs time to evolve into a Volnay-like expression of pinot. Already quite evolved, it reveals rustic, reductive and briary scents of dark plums, red cherries, smoked meats and dried herbs. Dark and penetrative, supported by dusty, grainy tannins, it’s supple and restrained, delivering a pristine expression of cherry/plum fruit that should steadily build with time in the bottle.

Giaconda produces some of Australia’s most sought after wines. Their range of super-premium wines draw stylistic inspiration from traditional French winemaking techniques. Giaconda’s humble beginning started in the early 1980’s in Beechworth, North Eastern Victoria with a small 3-hectare (7.4 acres) vineyard and a ‘low tech’ winery crafted fro hand made bricks and local granite. The first wine released was Cabernet Sauvignon in 1985 followed by Giaconda’s Chardonnay in 1986. Since then, Giaconda’s clutch of wines has risen to super cult status.
