Fallen Giants sits on one of the most revered sites in Victoria's famous Grampians region. With a focus on the signature varietals of the region, namely Shiraz, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wines of Fallen Giants rarely fail to impress and continue to attract plenty of fans.
This 2020 Fallen Giants Shiraz is another incredibly impressive example of Grampians Shiraz, which follows in the footsteps of the Jimmy Watson Trophy winning 2019 vintage. Beautifully structured, this hits the seemingly perfect balance between approachability and depth of flavour and complexity, with quality French oak playing a mere support role. A wine that's fast gaining a big following, this comes with our highest recommendation.
"95 Points. Fermented with 5% whole bunches, left 10 days on skins and matured 12 months in French oak (10% new). The follow-up vintage to the 2019 winner of the Jimmy Watson Trophy at the '21 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards. The 2020 is similarly blessed with great elegance and poise. A sheer, fragrant lift to the perfume in peppery red fruits, baking spices and plum with convincing, concentrated flavours. Tannins run fine through to the finish with a gentle grip. Drink by: 2033. Screwcap"- Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion 2023.
