Shiraz

2005 Victoria Syrah

The Giaconda Shiraz, a remarkable expression of Syrah from Victoria, showcases an enticing deep red color that invites you to explore its complexity. This full-bodied wine offers a captivating balance of lush fruit intensity, highlighted by alluring notes of blackcurrant and ripe plum, harmoniously integrated with underlying hints of spice and earth. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing backbone that lifts the rich fruit flavors. Tannins in this wine are notably structured, contributing to its age-worthiness while ensuring a smooth, luxurious mouthfeel. Perfectly crafted, this 2005 vintage serves as a delightful testament to the potential of Syrah in Victoria, making it an excellent choice for both special occasions and relaxed gatherings. With its well-rounded character and sophisticated profile, the Giaconda Shiraz is also beautifully dry, ensuring a clean finish that lingers delightfully on the palate.

Australia

The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.
