Giaconda Estate Vineyard Beechworth Giaconda Chardonnay 2012

Amber gold in colour, russet hints, with butterscotch and brioche on the opening notes, opulent in texture reflecting a warm vintage. It slowly and steadily evolves in the glass, gaining green apple, orange peel and saffron notes, with crisper citrus that gives the wine a savoury finish, underlined by the texture drawing in, showing the grip and the slate edge of the younger vintages. A wine that is full of personality and structure, holding your interest, in its drinking window, fully mature and showing the high quality of this site. Unfiltered and unfined, 30% new oak.
