Tasting Notes

Giaconda Warner Vineyard Shiraz 2016 showcases the distinctive elegance of cool-climate Australian Shiraz from Beechworth, Victoria. Since the early 1980s, Giaconda has earned an iconic reputation for meticulous, site-driven winemaking, with Rick Kinzbrunner championing the region’s distinctive expression of premium Shiraz.

Rich yet refined, this exceptional red wine delivers layered flavours of dark blackberry and plum, complemented by pepper, violet, earthy spice and fine-grained tannins. Full-flavoured and beautifully balanced, it captures the depth and character of the Warner Vineyard while retaining remarkable finesse, freshness and structure.

An elegant example of collectible Australian Shiraz, the 2016 vintage is a superb match for grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb, roast beef and hearty winter dishes. Sourced from a premium private cellar.

Critic Scores

Excellent colour, still holding its primary crimson-purple hue. This is exceptionally intense and complex, deep robes of velvet wrapping the palate in an embrace that is sheer perfection. Tannins are part of the picture, but are completely resolved. Drink by 2046.

Deep red colour with a tinge of purple. The bouquet is intensely fragrant, very vegetal, peppery and stalky, and smacks of slightly green stems. Green peas and beans as well. Lots of whole-bunch ferment, no doubt. It's raw and rather bolshie in the mouth, with acid, tannin and some greener notes adding up to a little rawness. It's full-bodied and concentrated, and has the makings of an excellent wine if kept a while.

About this Wine

Shiraz

Bold and full-bodied, Shiraz delivers rich dark fruit flavours of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, layered with black pepper, clove, and subtle smoke. Firm tannins and a velvety texture give it real structure, often rounded out by notes of chocolate and vanilla from oak ageing. A versatile pairing partner for grilled meats and hearty dishes, it's one of Australia's most planted red varieties

Victoria

The wine region of Victoria has the highest number of grape vines than any other state in Australia. It is home to over 600 wineries and well known regions such as Yarra valley, Heathcote, and Rutherglen. Victoria is situated in the southeastern corner of Australia where due to the location, the climate has a cool maritime influence and is known for their outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, along with producing Australia’s most famed dessert Muscat and Topaque wines.

There are a number of different terroir levels throughout the wine region of Victoria which leads to the production of different ranges of wines. In the southern region of Victoria, the vines are regulated by the cool winds of the Bass Strait. Central Victoria consists of mostly flat terrain that tends to be drier and warmer than the rest of Victoria, which results in more fruit concentrated wines. It may be surprising to note that Victoria is the third most productive wine region in Australia, seeing as it does not have as many areas suitable for viticulture, which has resulted in the cellar door culture of Victoria being concentrated with smaller, but more personal boutique wineries.
