Tasting Notes

Un Segreto Sangiovese Syrah is a carapace of firm twine-soused tannins that binds the more reclusive fruit to future possibility, rather than imminence. Sour cherry, orange zest, scoops of liquorice all-sorts and cardamon. Mid-weighted despite the higher alcoholic buffering. More savoury and bony over sumptuous in this nascent stage. Mulch and forestry undertones meld with Sangiovese's inherent friskiness.

Reviews and Accolades

AWARDS & ACCOLADES

Halliday Companion - Ned Goodwin MW

This is delicious! Medium-bodied, yet dense. Delicate and fine boned, yet brimming with flavour. Dichotomies such as these make for intriguing drinking while conferring authority and complexity. Violet, cherry, cola, satsuma plum and just the right amount of cinnamon oak pirouette about the mouth. The generosity of shiraz and the flirt of sangiovese do a nice dance along a beam of frisky tannin and transparent acidity.

The Wine Front - Mike Bennie

Scents of game meat, fresh blood, ripe plum, turned earth – no hiding from savouriness here. Taste follows a similar path, meaty, dried cranberry fruitiness, squirt of pomegranate and a return of game meat to close. Dash of pepper and a puff of clove and we’re through. Just over medium weight, hemmed with fine, silky texture and squeaky tannins too. Compelling wine of unique character.

Castagna

Julian and Carolann Castagna left their careers in the film industry to establish Castagna Vineyard. They aimed to create unique wines capturing the essence of Côte-Rôtie, a style then rare in Australia. Located in Northeast Victoria, the vineyard, certified organic and biodynamic, features Syrah vines planted in 1997, descendants of 1850s Rhone stock. With a focus on quality over quantity, their meticulous approach includes hand-pruning, hand-picking, traditional winemaking techniques, and careful aging in French oak. The vineyard's biodynamic practices highlight the granitic-loam soil's minerality, and they utilize rare genetic material from Australia to craft exceptional wines. The vineyard's continental climate and unique soil composition further contribute to their distinctive wines. Castagna Vineyard has successfully carved out its niche in the world of wine.
