Giesen's Estate Pinot Gris is an beautifully aromatic and vibrant white wine balanced with subtle elegance. A nose of poached pear along with notes of almond, dry spice and a whiff of vanilla. In the mouth the wine continues to please with tropical fruit tones and a textural brioche characteristic.

This is a delicious chardonnay filled with golden peach, rockmelon and citrus characters with nuances of cedar and brioche. The palate is concentrated and fleshy, delivering excellent fruit weight and intensity, wonderfully complemented by silky texture and elegant oak infusion.

Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and vanilla are accompanied by vibrant, dark berry fruits on the palate. The finish is long with fine-grained tannins from sixteen months maturation in a combination of new and older French oak hogsheads. Although drinking well now this wine may be cellared for up to ten years from vintage.

Strong colour; a mouthfilling blend of blackberry, plum, chocolate and mocha; the tannins are ripe enough to welcome early consumption, but the wine has good medium-term cellaring potential.

… “It has been a while since I’ve reviewed an Australian cabernet sauvignon, but when I tasted this wine I knew it was time to change that. This is a delicious wine from the Barossa region in Australia and comes from Château Tanunda…”
