The Real Review - Huon Hooke

Good depth of colour with a solid tinge of purple remaining, the bouquet very vegetal and strongly suggesting a high component of whole-bunch ferment. White pepper, assorted spices, oyster shells and brine interwoven with root vegetables and background berries. It's very intense, medium-full bodied and soft textured, fleshy and savoury, with fine balance and drinkability. A super-stylish and gloriously tasty shiraz.

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.
