Giaconda Vineyard


Giaconda Vineyard was established by Rick Kinzbrunner, a mechanical engineer who became interested in wine in the early 1970's and spent the next ten years traveling to wine-growing areas overseas learning as much as possible.

Giaconda Vineyard and Winery is situated nine kilometers southwest of Beechworth on the Wangaratta Road in Northeastern Victoria, in the foothills and within sight of the Victorian Alps. The winery overlooks the vineyard and is constructed of local granite blocks and hand-made bricks.

Rick was the first to establish a vineyard of any consequence in Beechworth when he first planted in 1982. Now there is a real buzz for the region while his wines are counted among Australia’s very finest

The wines are hand-crafted; in the case of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir using traditional Burgundian methods, and the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc according to classical Bordeaux techniques including long maceration. Only top quality French oak is employed.

Somehow spared from the carnage, Rick Kinzbrunner's 2009 crop had to endure unprecedented heat-stroke; a small-price to pay perhaps. 2006 was a warm one too, though not drought-affected as '07; his thirteen year old Warner Vineyard repaying Rick's diligence with a punchy tapenade and smoky black ...
