Nantua Les Deux Shiraz

Giaconda Nantua Les Deux Shiraz is grown on the ancient granite soils and warm, north facing aspect of the Warner Vineyard, a short distance from Beechworth.

A combination of whole bunch and destemmed, the crushed fruit is transferred to large concrete tanks for wild yeast fermentation. After extended time on skins to soften the tannins and build complexity, the wine is basket pressed.

The wine ages in French oak barrels stored deep underground in the winery's granite maturation cave. There are minimal sulphur additions and no filtration.

Deep crimson, Giaconda Nantua Les Deux Shiraz is laden with briary fruit flavours and spicy oak, framed by savoury tannins. Cellaring potential is seven years.
