About this wine
GIACONDA Estate Vineyard Chardonnay, Beechworth
The legendary Giaconda Estate Vineyard Chardonnay is celebrated for its precision, generosity, remarkable mineral structure, and enduring quality. Founded by engineer Rick Kinzbrunner in Beechworth, this south-facing vineyard, shielded from direct sun, offers a unique terroir. Grown organically at 400 metres, the vines thrive on mineral-rich granitic loams over gravel and clay. Handpicked in cool mornings, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in French oak barrels, 30% new, ageing for 20 months in an underground granite cave with stable humidity and temperature. Intuition in winemaking and a deep connection to nature secure this Chardonnay's esteemed place in Australian winemaking.

Expert Review
James Halliday
The sheer power and depth of this wine is unique, no other Australian chardonnay can rival it. Its balance of stone fruit, grilled nuts and citrussy acidity is impeccable, transforming into the extreme length of the palate. Will live forever.

Huon Hooke
Medium to full yellow colour and a voluminous bouquet of chicken stock, toasty nuts, smoky sulfides and many other nuances. Full-bodied and extremely rich, with an impressive array of flavours loaded into a gutsy, power-packed wine. Such is the richness of fruit it seems almost sweet. An opulent wine, chock-a-block with flavour.

Nick Stock
A bold, rich and concentrated chardonnay with intense grilled-peach, lemon and flinty complexity, as well as toasted-hazelnut aromas. The palate has a very rich and powerful core of ripe fruit. Long, pithy drive to the fresh, flavorful finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Struck match, spiced oatmeal, grapefruit, lime, pineapple and nectarine, a little vanilla perfume. It’s glossy, cheese sticks, hazelnut and funky savoury flavour, sizzled butter, but a core of sizzling citrus acidity to go with it. Powerful. Texture is flinty and chalky, finish is tight, long and closes with slightly bitter green stalk, lime rind and grapefruit flavours lingering. It’ll become more mellifluous and composed as it ages, of course.
