Shiraz was one of the first varieties planted by Carlo Monichino in the 1960s, he recognized the suitability of Goulburn Valley for viticulture and set out to make wines as he did, while growing up amongst the undulating vineyards of Italy's Piemonte. Monichino remains a largely family run operation, neighbours and the extended relations all join in at vintage. A splendid Shiraz, crafted exclusively from estate grown fruit and treated to an extended maturation, for a thoroughly charming wine of engaging complexity and exquisite balance.
Parcels of Shiraz are treated to a crush and cold soak, vinified in a combination of fermenters, followed by transfer to a selection of seasoned and new American oak barrels for a year or more of maturation.
TASTING NOTES
Dark red, purple robes. Blackberry and dark currant nose, milled pepper complexity and charred oak. A decidedly berry drenched palate, layered with dark fruit, bramble and spice, supported by ripe firm tannins and supple cinnamon oak. A match to charcoal grills and kebabs, mediterranean vegetables or roasts.

About Monichino Wines
Monichino are all about honest wines made from good fruit, grown to a greatly loved vineyard, by fair dinkum people with endless passion
The rolling hills of Italy's Piemonte and the flat plains of Victoria's Goulburn Valley are worlds apart. The classic tradition of wine making however, has transferred flawlessly from one hemisphere to the other. When Carlo Monichino migrated from the Asti region of northern Italy, he brought his winemaking skills with him. Carlo and Margaret Monichino established their first vineyard on the Australian continent at Katunga in central Victoia's Goulburn Valley in 1962. The Monichinon family recognized that the rich soil and excellent climatic conditions make this region ideal for grape growing. Vines were first planted here during the 1880s, one of the oldest and most enduring grape growing regions in Australia. Monichino»
