Beechworth has carved out a reputation as one of Australia's most amazing, yet largely unknown, wine producing regions. Castagna have crafted a Shiraz of incredible poise and complexity from an outstanding vintage.

The Savaterre vineyard is elevated at 430m above sea level and is farmed along organic principles. No pesticides are used. An incredibly complex, lifted, lively and intense nose. Exotic aromas of smoked meats, dried red rose, allspice, clove, dark plum, dark cherry ,blackberry, mulberry, mandarin, violets, sandalwood, bay and funky undergrowth. This aroma really revs me up, it continues to evolve as time goes by. This wine is alive! Complexity, poise, sinewy acid, fine tannins wrapped around a sleek core of pristine dark fruit. A wine thats slightly reduced and smelling of undergrowth now that transforms in the glass and continues to seduce. This is Terroir. This is Savaterre.

The unique and beautiful Warner Vineyard Shiraz further illustrates Beechworth's position as one of Australia's new classic wine regions. The Warner Vineyard is planted on decomposed granitic soils overlying a clay base. Vinification in "open-top wood" or concrete tanks takes place in three separate cuvees of equal volume; one is co-fermented with up to 5% Roussanne. Maturation takes place in new (40%) and wine-seasoned barriques.

Hand picked low yielding vines producing a wine with increased intensity of aroma, flavour, texture and length. Hand picked and fermented with indigenous yeast and matured in French oak for two years..

Deep garnet in colour, this wine has a bouquet that is totally charming and engulfs you: sandalwood, pepper, a touch of apricot, sexy blackberries and dark cherries mixed with graphite, and as it opens up briary notes and black fruit that speak of wonderful extract, and a sense of brooding blackness.

Brokenwood have a strong reputation for producing quality wines from a range of regions from across Australia, not just their ancestrol home of the Hunter Valley. This includes this flavoursome and terroir specific Beechworth Pinot that displays savoury plum & red berry characters with a nice accent of forest floor.

Dont miss this rare chance to secure a magnificent wine from a top producer thats in seriously short supply. Made by an acclaimed winemaker at the top of their game, this is a slice of wine history you dont want to miss. Add it to your collection while you can.
