2022 Giaconda Nantua Les Deux Shiraz

Established in 1982 by Rick Kinzbrunner after experience in Napa, Bordeaux, and the King Valley, Giaconda has become one of Australia’s most celebrated boutique estates. The 4-hectare vineyard, now managed with his son Nathan, is certified organic and focused on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and Nebbiolo. High-altitude granitic soils, excellent winemaking, and ageing in a granite cave deliver wines of extraordinary purity, complexity, and finesse.
Red wines see extended maceration on skins to develop finer tannins, with maturation taking place in French Oak barrels for up to 24 months. The wines are only ever moved via gravity or gas, retaining all the pristine fruit that they work so hard to produce in the winery and the vineyard.

From the exceptional Warner Vineyard, the cool 2022 season has produced a delicately spiced, medium-bodied Shiraz. Soft and creamy on the palate, with fine tannins and a cleansing acid line, expect the finesse of Pinot with the depth of Shiraz—utterly quaffable.
