"Syrah Rose. Sparkling. From Beechworth's most famous biodynamic vineyard. Three years on lees. Barrel fermented. Accordingly to Julian Castagna, "I've wanted to make (a sparkling syrah rose) since we started, but the wines weren't ready. But when I saw this I thought, this will sparkle. It was a big risk because we can't afford to lose six barrels of wine if it turns out rubbish.
Daringly dry. So much crushed herb and spice. So textural and creamy yet chalky and dry too. Earthen. Pippy cherries. Not fruity, and yet powerful, full-bodied. Wonderful style of food wine. Crying out for salami and bread. A thoroughly individual wine."
