Domenica sits 460m above sea level atop the granite ridge sweeping away to the south west of Beechworth. The wines are vividly reflective of their origin, a gripping mineral texture encasing the mature vine vitality of the varietals chosen to express it.
Wines are traditionally made; owner/winemaker Peter Graham has an impressive 13 years under his belt as assistant winemaker at Giaconda. Unsurprisingly, the Domenica wines are first class examples of small production, ‘hands on’ winemaking at its very best.
Ten acres of hand tended, low cropped vines result in a mere 1500 cases annually- the philosophy behind the growing and making of these wines is one of simplicity, pure varietal expression and a palpable sense of place.
"An address sitting pretty amidst the regional firmament, supported by an excellent 2022 syrah. Superlative aromas of mace, charcuterie, tapenade and florals. The fruit, blue and savory, is really not the point. It is more about the lithe framework of structural attributes, from the precise acidity, sinuous tannins and impeccably integrated whole bunches. I'd be happy to breach this mid-weighter with an aggressive decant, or hold for greater complexity across the mid-term. Very fine syrah." 97pts | James Suckling Top 100 Wines of Australia 2024
