Giaconda Yarra Valley & Beechworth Pinot Noir 2012 masterfully captures the essence of two of Victoria’s premier cool-climate regions. This distinguished 50/50 blend draws from the celebrated vineyards of Yarra Valley and historic Beechworth, offering a balanced and captivating representation of Australian Pinot Noir at its finest.

The wine is crafted through a meticulous tank fermentation before aging for 16 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new. This maturation process infuses the wine with subtle spice and vanilla notes, perfectly complementing its vibrant fruit profile. A signature aspect of this wine is its extended aging deep underground in Giaconda’s granite maturation cave, a naturally stable environment that enriches complexity and refines texture.

On the palate, the 2012 vintage reveals an alluring bouquet of red cherry, cranberry, and raspberry, intertwined with delicate earthy undertones and hints of forest floor. Its structure is both elegant and robust, featuring fine tannins and a lingering finish that hints at excellent cellaring potential. The Yarra Valley contributes finesse and aromatic brightness, while Beechworth adds depth and intensity, with the cool 2012 growing season preserving the wine’s freshness and acidity.

This Pinot Noir is sourced exclusively from a premium private cellar, representing a rare and collector-worthy expression of Australian terroir. The distinctive production techniques and esteemed provenance make it a standout wine for those who appreciate refined craftsmanship and complexity.
