Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Castagna known for?

Castagna is best known for its biodynamic Syrah-based wines, which have gained critical acclaim for their depth, elegance, and sense of place. Their Syrah is typically co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier, following the Côte-Rôtie tradition of the Northern Rhône, resulting in a wine that is fragrant, layered, and structured. These wines are expressive of Beechworth’s granitic soils and cool climate, often showing dark berry fruit, savoury spice, floral lift, and earthy minerality. In addition to Syrah, Castagna is also known for producing Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, and Rhône-style white blends that reflect Old World sensibilities through an Australian lens. These wines are crafted with minimal intervention, native yeasts, and low sulphur use, aligning with the estate’s biodynamic philosophy. The result is a portfolio of wines that are complex, age-worthy, and expressive of both variety and terroir.

Where are Castagna wines made?

Castagna wines are made in Beechworth, a premium wine-growing region in northeastern Victoria, Australia. This elevated area, located in the foothills of the Australian Alps, benefits from a cool climate and granitic soils—conditions that promote long ripening periods, natural acidity, and aromatic complexity in the grapes. The estate sits at approximately 500 metres above sea level, offering a unique combination of altitude, sunlight, and diurnal temperature variation. These factors allow Castagna to produce wines of concentration, freshness, and fine structure. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically, with no synthetic chemicals, and the winery follows a minimal-intervention approach that includes natural fermentation and unfiltered bottling. This commitment to environmental stewardship and terroir transparency has made Castagna one of Australia’s most respected producers, especially among those who value authenticity and sustainability in fine wine production.

What are the best Castagna wines?

Among Castagna’s most celebrated wines is the Genesis Syrah, a biodynamic red that consistently garners praise for its aromatic complexity, fine tannins, and long ageing potential. It is co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier, offering a lifted floral note atop a core of dark fruit, pepper, and savoury depth. Another standout is the La Chiave Sangiovese, which showcases the varietal’s classic red cherry, dried herb, and earthy character, elevated by the Beechworth terroir. The Un Segreto blend—often a mix of Syrah and Sangiovese—is also highly regarded for its textural finesse and intriguing savoury profile. On the white side, Allegro, a unique Viognier blend, delivers aromatic richness with a mineral backbone. These wines are made in small quantities and are known for their longevity, individuality, and alignment with natural winemaking principles. Each release reflects Castagna’s thoughtful, hands-on approach and deep respect for site expression.

Are Castagna wines affordable?

Castagna wines are positioned in the premium category, reflecting their small-scale production, biodynamic farming, and artisanal winemaking practices. While they are not budget wines, they are widely considered to offer good value relative to other top-tier producers in Australia and globally. The pricing aligns with the estate’s attention to detail, from vineyard to bottle—manual harvesting, wild yeast fermentation, ageing in quality French oak, and minimal sulphur use. These labour-intensive methods result in wines of genuine complexity, purity, and aging potential. For consumers seeking expressive, terroir-driven wines with sustainability at their core, Castagna represents a worthwhile investment. Their flagship Syrah and Sangiovese bottlings are especially favoured by collectors and sommeliers who appreciate structure and authenticity. While not inexpensive, Castagna wines are affordable within the context of fine biodynamic wine, offering distinctive quality that justifies the price.
