Tasting Notes
Incredible value here as this is declassified fruit from the Domenica estate vineyards. Covers the spectrum of black and blue fruits with a hint of liquorice, freshly cracked pepper with depth and fine tannin. It’s a cooler site so it’s a more medium bodied expression of Shiraz. - Pete L
Domenica sits 460m above sea level atop the granite ridge sweeping away to the south west of Beechworth. The wines are vividly reflective of their origin, a gripping mineral texture encasing the mature vine vitality of the varietals chosen to express it.
Winemaking is traditional. Taste is more important than numbers. The yeasts comes from the site, not a packet. Pressings, solids and lees all play their part completing the picture. The wines are carefully maintained in oak bariques before being bottled unfiltered.
Winemaker Peter Graham cut his teeth at nearby Giaconda, where he worked as assistant winemaker for thirteen years. During the early part of this time he completed a degree in wine science by correspondence through Charles Sturt University. - Winery Note
