Crafted by \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eGiaconda\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e under the guidance of legendary winemaker Rick Kinzbrunner, this wine showcases the elegance, complexity, and longevity that have made Giaconda a benchmark name in Australian fine wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"816\" data-start=\"514\"\u003eSourced from the renowned Warner Vineyard in Beechworth, Victoria, the wine reflects the region's elevated sites, granitic soils, and cool growing conditions. These factors contribute to a distinctive style of Shiraz that emphasises perfume, spice, mineral tension, and finesse rather than sheer power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1140\" data-start=\"818\"\u003eThe excellent 2005 vintage delivered fruit of exceptional balance and concentration. Traditional winemaking techniques, including careful hand harvesting, gentle extraction, and maturation in French oak, allowed the vineyard character to remain at the forefront while providing the structure required for long-term ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1497\" data-start=\"1142\"\u003eNow approaching two decades of bottle maturity, the wine displays an extraordinarily complex bouquet of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, layered with cracked pepper, violets, olive tapenade, smoked meats, cedar, and earthy spice. Further evolution has introduced tertiary notes of leather, forest floor, dried herbs, and game, adding depth and intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1825\" data-start=\"1499\"\u003eThe palate is medium- to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and remarkably fresh for its age. Silky tannins frame layers of savoury dark fruit, mineral complexity, and cool-climate spice. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, reflecting both the pedigree of the vineyard and Giaconda's meticulous winemaking philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2128\" data-start=\"1827\"\u003eDrinking beautifully now, the 2005 Warner Vineyard Shiraz offers a rare opportunity to experience mature Beechworth Shiraz at an exceptional stage of development. Well-stored bottles will continue to provide enjoyment over the coming years, although they are firmly within their prime drinking window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2290\" data-start=\"2130\"\u003eA highly collectible Australian Shiraz that combines sophistication, provenance, and the distinctive character of one of Beechworth's most celebrated vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2476\" data-start=\"2292\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2303\" data-start=\"2292\"\u003eWinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Giaconda\u003cbr data-end=\"2315\" data-start=\"2312\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2326\" data-start=\"2315\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beechworth, Victoria\u003cbr data-end=\"2350\" data-start=\"2347\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2363\" data-start=\"2350\"\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warner Vineyard\u003cbr data-end=\"2382\" data-start=\"2379\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2394\" data-start=\"2382\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003cbr data-end=\"2404\" data-start=\"2401\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2416\" data-start=\"2404\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005\u003cbr data-end=\"2424\" data-start=\"2421\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2434\" data-start=\"2424\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool-Climate Shiraz\u003cbr data-end=\"2457\" data-start=\"2454\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2574\" data-start=\"2478\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2495\" data-start=\"2478\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roast lamb, venison, duck, game meats, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wickman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52155125203246,"sku":"4555933878","price":140.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2005GiacondaWarnerVineyardShiraz750ml.png?v=1780723917","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2005-giaconda-warner-vineyard-shiraz-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
