The amphitheatre block shines through in this vintage, creating a kaleidoscope of perfume and intense flavour that is most enticing. Opulence is here in the form of honeysuckle, ripe fig, white peach, and a touch of apricot, wrapped in just the right amount of acidity to ensure the creaminess and roundness are not lost. The hero of this wine is the hidden gem, carrying all on its shoulders a perfectly judged phenolic structure. This not only lifts the wine but will ensure it ages exceptionally well.

Alcohol: 14.0%
Closure: Screw cap
Cellaring: 3-15 years

Wine making should be subtle and always seek balance - this should never seek to dominate the Terroir or characteristics of any given vintage. Giaconda wines are hand-crafted according to basically a natural wine making process. To us this means indigenous yeasts are employed for fermentation, natural bacteria for Malolactic fermentation, French oak barrel ageing, minimal sulphur additions, and no filtration before bottling.

The winery, barrel maturation cave and bottling facility are all set up for gravity flow. This means the wines are very rarely pumped or manipulated mechanically. Instead they are gently moved by gravity or gas pressure during the entire wine making process. Our wines are aged in French oak deep underground in a granite maturation cave."
