Red Wine

Castagna Genesis Syrah 2014

Beechworth. Biodynamic farmed. Traditional winemaking, per se. Syrah. Castagna. “You know the drill”, in the words of Dylan from 90210.


A mesh of red berries, red plum, game meat, sweet earth, clove/cinnamon and faint floral notes all conspire in bouquet. Fleshy in the palate, inward concentration but only a lick over medium weight. Mouth-staining just-ripe red fruit flavours and lingering spice, a web of fine powdery tannins drawing things a little taut. It’s an excellent wine, almost a pinosity, but wholly in the zone of fine Syrah wines. Drink 2019-2027+
