[SOLD-OUT] Castagna Sparkling Genesis 2008

Campbell Mattinson 96 points!
"Castagna's sparkling red is arguably now the Australian champion of the style. It's certainly the most compelling. This one spent two years on lees and was disgorged in October 2011.

It smells amazing. This will be a great wine, given time. For now it tastes of jubes, fistfuls of spice, raisins, tea and toast and earth. It has oodles of sweet blue- and black-berried fruit flavour but it remains dry and focussed. By Australian standards bugger-all dosage has gone into this wine, and its dryness is compellingly apparent. You have to have the fruit quality to pull off such a style of course " sweetness is at heart a masking agent " and this wine has fruit quality to burn. It will develop magnificently."
