Overview

Castagna Chenin Blanc is a still white wine from Beechworth, Victoria. The 2021 combines aromatic richness and texture with naturally keen acidity, showing floral and orchard-fruit characters alongside citrus, savoury spice and mineral complexity.

Vineyard

Castagna's vineyard is situated at approximately 500 metres near Beechworth in north-east Victoria, in the foothills of the Australian Alps. Planted in 1997, the vineyard lies on predominantly decomposed granitic loam with quartz over clay and has been farmed biodynamically from the beginning. It is fully certified organic and biodynamic.

Critic Reviews

95/100 — Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion: “On paper, Beechworth chenin blanc is an unknown. In the glass, it’s a case of ‘Where have you been all my life?’ It’s super-ripe, which brings in the grape’s florals and peaches dripped in honey, not to mention texture and warmth of expression. Orange blossom, citrus, peach and apple are lifted and bright in aroma. Takes a warm, rich, nutty, spicy and savoury turn on the palate, all the while controlled by the grape’s naturally keen acidity. One to watch.”

James Suckling: “The nose is incredibly enticing and flirtatious, with mineral-driven aromas of flint, lemon curd and river stones. The palate is wonderfully complex and fresh, giving notes of grapefruit rind, shortbread, talcum powder and orange zest. Sophisticated, fresh and powerful. Excellent. Drink or hold.”
