DiGiorgio Family Wines

Di Giorgio Logo

The DiGiorgio family, originally from Italy, settled on the Limestone coast during the 1950’s. The family turned their attention to viticulture in 1989, when they pioneered the first vine plantings on their property at Lucindale. In 2002 the DiGiorgio family purchased the historic Rouge Homme winery from Southcorp. The wine label now includes the Coonawarra, Lucindale and Sterita ranges and covers a wide cross section of styles and price points.

This is an elegant and finely structured wine, almost European in style and will cellar well and continue to develop over the next 6-10 years. Complex nose of sweet red fruit, mocha and cedary new oak. A rounded and soft structure with blackberry, chocolate and cassis fruit flavours. The palate is persistent with toasty sweet vanillin oak and velvety tannins. A wine to enjoy with a hearty pasta.

DiGiorgio Coonawarra Shiraz

Region: Coonawarra
Current Vintage: 2013 | Cartons 6 x 750ml

A great example of Coonawarra Shiraz showing raspberry and mulberry fruit characters and nuances of black pepper found only in wines created from old vines. Time in bottle will see even more complexity develop, with an increase in cedar and savoury characters.

Bouquet is ripe and typically Coonawarra—raspberry and cracked pepper aromas from the ripe grapes and charry citrus notes from the oak. Plate shows delicious ripe raspberry and mulberry flavours mingled with nuances of black pepper and spice. It finishes with toasty vanilla oak.
