Giaconda Pre-Arrival offer
31 March 2012
Once again we are happy to offer a pre-arrival offer for the outstanding wines of Giaconda. Like all years, numbers are limited, so if you'd like some get in quick; Giaconda is simply one of Australia's finest producers. No Pinot Noir was made this vintage (for the pre-arrival offer that is) but once again we have Chardonnay, 'Warner' Shiraz, 'Estate' Shiraz & Cabernet, plus the second release of their stunning Nebbiolo.
Here are some barrel tasting notes from Rick Kinzbrunner.
2011 Chardonnay (stelvin) @ $110
Due May 2013
A little more racy again, a further example of power and concentration. This will develop amazing depth and complexity.
2011 'Warner' Shiraz (stelvin) @ $75
Due May 2013
A complex nose, spice, pepperand undergrowth shows lifted characters as a result of the cooler vintage. Vibrant palate, long and exotic. A little finer and lighter than previous Warner vintages. Showing elegance with a red fruit spectrum.
2011 'Estate' Shiraz' (cork) @ $75
Due May 2013
A melange of red fruits, briar, pepper and spice, very aromatic and shows great potential. Fine taut and long with Rhone like flavours, finishing with the evident fine balanced tannins extending the palate. I feel this wine will develop great finely sructured depth.
2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (cork) @ $65
Due May 2012
A lifted nose of cedar, cassis and black fruits. Ripe cabernet aroma with no leafy overtones. Powerful elegant palate showing the black fruits and cedar. Very fine with depth, concentration and fine grain tannins. Bordeaux lovers will really appreciate the fine but assertive character of this wine.
2009 Nebbiolo (cork) @ $95
Due May 2012
Extremely lifted & powerful nose of violets & tar-carries past the often quoted rose spectrum of Nebbiolo. Palate is rich & silky with an enigmatic quality that almost assaults the palate while still retaining an element of latent restrained power. Tannins are plush but still very fine & in combination with good acidity carry the palate to a long finish.
Exciting stuff indeed! This is a pre-arrival and it is the same deal as usual; all money is needed upon confirmation of your order. Delivery will be May 2013, except for the Cabernet and Nebbiolo which will be here May 2012.
Numbers for these highly sought after wines are limited and allocations will be confirmed as soon as possible. For all orders please send us an e-mail: wine@eastendcellars.com.au or give us a call on 08 8232 5300.
For anyone who missed our 2010 Giaconda Pre-Arrival campaign, they are small amounts still available on our website. Due to arrive in May 2012.
