Atze’s Corner Wines - The Giant – 2009 Petit Sirah
Grown at Koonunga in the Barossa’s north and aptly named after prominent local Irish Settler David Shannon, at Legend has it that on one warm summer’s day, as he was entering a bank in the nearby township of Kapunda, two men who had just robbed the bank were making an exit, with his huge hands he grabbed one robber in each and pushed them together knocking the would be thieves to the ground.201cm he was described as a genial, and bluff hearted Giant.
Like the man himself “The Giant” Petit Sirah is a big and robust wine with sturdy Tannins, drinking well upon release but will benefit from decantering to allow the wine’s bouquet to develop, this wine will age well with careful cellaring for 15-20 years.
