One taste and the excitement is justified, revealing hidden depths. Aromas offer a complex set of rich scents in peach, citrus, quince, baked apple and pear with the liveliness of woody spices, chamomile and savoury, nutty almond skin. The pulse quickens on the palate with phenolic drive and grip and a seamless journey into a warm roussanne embrace of texture and flavour edged by a gingery herbal note. Runs super smooth and long. Each vintage release ups the ante, showing clearly just what the Rhône Valley grape variety is capable of in its new home.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Jeni Port, Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003eIt's not just the textural nature of this wine, but the balance between fruit and the structural elements of oak, acid and phenolics that make this wine shine. Rich and spicy with penetrating length. It is reminiscent of the past great Giaconda Aeolia's showcasing the inherent beauty and power of Roussanne. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGiaconda\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:  \u003c\/strong\u003eGiaconda is one of the country’s great wine producers, producing one of Australia’s greatest chardonnays. It was founded by mechanical engineer Rick Kinzbrunner in '82 and is devoted to organic viticulture and traditional winemaking such as gravity flow, wild fermentations and no filtration. Central to this philosophy is an underground cellar, dug out of solid granite, creating steady year-round temperatures that lead to prolonged and gentle fermentation. Slowly, since the ’07 vintage, Rick’s son, Nathan, has been stepping up. Nathan and Rick make all the big decisions together, like planting nebbiolo; they sat atop the La Mora hillside in Barolo in ’08 and decided there and then, planting it 2 years later. More recently they decided to reconnect with roussanne, planting it on the warmer aspects of the Giaconda Vineyard. \u003cstrong\u003eHalliday\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBeechworth, Victoria\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e  White Wine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rick \u0026amp; Nathan Kinzbrunner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE: \u003c\/strong\u003eScrewcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47587294675093,"sku":"6080","price":118.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1260226.jpg?v=1786505673","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/giaconda-roussanne-2024","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
