Marc Scalzo takes time out from his duties as chief winemaker at Rutherglen Estates to tend his closely coddled Beechworth vines. The two regions share a predisposition to yield structured Shiraz of remarkable purity and finesse, wines that are highly articulate of their very special terroir. The mineral rich hills of Beechworth impart added elegance and a conspicuous measure of Burgundian savoir faire. There are precious few plantings on Harry's Block but they yield the most invaluable fruit, immaculately crafted into the first growth of Beechworth Shiraz.
Shiraz is hand picked over the course of a single day, grapes are sorted and gently crushed, a large part of the fruit remains uncrushed, a further component is included as whole bunches. Parcels are treated to a traditional open vat fermentation through the action of wild, indigenous vineyard yeasts over the course of a fortnight, gently hand plunged four times daily for optimal extraction of flavour and tannin. Upon completion, batches are pressed and filled to an extravagantly high selection of new French oak barriques for twenty months maturation and bottling after minimal filtration.
TASTING NOTES
Dark scarlet red. A fragrant bouquet of fresh milled pepper and cool climate spice, dark cherries and blueberry notes, minaret of anise and the mineral richness of a splendid terroir. A palate brimming with complex red berries, brambles, cocoa and baking spice over a framework of chalky velvet tannins and seamless, inseparable oak. A refined, lengthy, elegant finish.

About the Piano Piano Winery
Traditional vignerons, Marc Scalzo and Lisa Hernan established a homestead vineyard by planting their own Chardonnay and Shiraz vines on a picturesque site in Beechworth
Piano Piano vineyards are located on a highly sought after golden mile amongst some of Beechworth’s most notable wine producers. They focus on making premium, estate grown single vineyard wines, vintages with a strong sense of place. Rather than impose his own personality on the wines, Marc has always strived to let the vineyard tell its own story. Marc started his wine education around the kitchen table at home. His father Mario introduced him to a wide selection of local and Italian wines. After graduating with a Science degree from Monash University and working for IBM for five years, the lure of wine was strong. Marc then studied Wine Science at Charles Sturt University and has many years of practical experience, including seven years as a winemaker at Brown Brothers and vintages at Giaconda, Seresin Estate (NZ), Delegat’s (NZ) and John Gehrig Wines. Marc is also Chief Winemaker at Rutherglen Estates. Piano Piano»
