Castagna Sauvage 2016 (Syrah, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo) (6 Bottles) Beechworth

The 2016 Castagna Sauvage, crafted by Julian Castagna in Beechworth, Victoria, is a biodynamic Syrah co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, expressing power and precision in equal measure. Aromatics of dark cherry, smoked meats, and black pepper are woven with violets and sandalwood. The palate is savoury and structured, with fine, gritty tannins, ripe black fruit, and a core of graphite-like minerality.
