Tasting Tips
A deep crimson hue - never black nor purple, always alive; the colour of blood. The bouquet is rather difficult to describe - so much is happening here; violets, rose petals, smoked meats, black cherries, damp earth and musk. Equally as intriguing is the palate with its fresh, crunchy red to black cherries sidling up alongside notes of graphite, Szechuan pepper and tingling fresh acidity seasoned with exotic spices. It finishes powerfully with bitter dark chocolate laced with subtle smoke from the oak. At present, the wine sits delicately balanced on the knife''''s edge. In a few years the briar and undergrowth will emerge and the fruit will build the palate even further.
Winery
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 Australian Alps. The land is farmed biodynamically; using Rudolf Steiner''s biodynamic principles, because they believe it is the best way to achieve optimum fruit quality that best expresses its terroir.
