Castagna Sauvage Shiraz Blend 2016 - Beechworth
Alc: 14.0%
Closure: Cork
Bottle size: 750ml
Minimum buy quantity no less than 6 bottles.
On the nose we see smoked sweet meats, boysenberry, darker cherry, kirsch doused with an Indian spice packet of star anise, clove and cardamon.
In the mouth it has beautifully perfumed, fruity element with energy and verve adding complexity to the medium-bodied, textured raspberry red fruit.
The now familiar Castagna tannins are exceptionally fine with dusty, spicy oak and lovely fresh acidity.
Not quite Genesis but a wine of amazing value.

Producers notes
The Castagna Vineyard is situated at an altitude of 500 metres five-and-a-half kilometres outside the beautiful town of Beechworth in Northeast Victoria, high in the foothills of the Australian Alps. Our soil consists mainly of decomposed granitic-loam on a base of clay. The climate is distinctly Mediterranean with hot days and cool nights during the important part of the growing season.
The land is farmed biodynamically; using Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic principles, because we believe it is the best way to achieve optimum fruit quality that best expresses its terroir. The vineyard is hand-pruned and the fruit is hand-picked. We crop at a bit less than two tons per acre. The winemaking is very traditional using only our own vineyard's indigenous yeast with minimal interference.
Elevage varies between 18-20 months using only the very best, tight grain French oak available, about half of which is new each year. Our intention is to make, as simply as possible, wine which is an expression of the place where it is grown.
