21.01.2022 Mmmm,Notes of yummy bacon, and the earth. Hey all, Here at Castagna, we’re aware that during the present time of uncertainty, money might be tight, or you’re going stir crazy at home, or so many other things. To try and help (if only a little) we’ve decided to remove all freight and insurance costs from any order, to anywhere.... www.castagna.com.au Stay safe, and wash your hands.

21.01.2022 Pressing Sangiovese tomorrow, these will make a wonderfull lunch with polenta.

20.01.2022 We’ve had some requests for tasting packs so here. Both red and white. They are available from our new online store and you can link from linktr.ee/castagna

19.01.2022 No, it's not what it looks like, this is Stinging Nettle which is used for our number 504 biodynamic preparation. It has so much vitality and it is usually prepared by simply burying the leaves in the ground over a year and then added in the compost. Making the compost inwardly sensitive and receptive, a function of the element nitrogen. Side note, gloves are recommended when handling the Nettle. ... #biodynamicfarming #gemu #gartenarbeit #garten #vegetables #veggies #garden #gardening #organicgarden #permakultur #permaculture #fromfarmtotable #vegetablesbeds #vegetablepatch #biodynamik#biodynamic#instagraminteriorchallenge #farmlife #yum #eattherainbow #eeeeeats #healthyfood #marketgarden #cngfarming #certifiednaturallygrown

19.01.2022 One led to another- I guess this happens when old friends come to visit.

18.01.2022 At Renaissance in Tokyo- at the French Embassy no less, a bit like Danial in the Lions Den

17.01.2022 2002 was a wonderful vintage both Genesis & La Chiave are still looking both serious and delicious - and still remarkably fresh and youthful

16.01.2022 At the Real Wine Show in London - show a few wines I thought - nothing like going over the top!

15.01.2022 Interesting reviews of lots of our wines by Mike Bennie in Winefront, Including reviews of the soon to be released Genesis and the new Barbarossa - worth a look.

11.01.2022 Table set, wines airing - waiting for the fray.

09.01.2022 Ants bring up small bits of granite and quartz which shows why this terroir is so special

08.01.2022 Lovely stop-off in Cairns for a Castagna Biodynamic Dinner at the Cairns Harbourside Holiday Inn on the way back from the UK Wine Australia Tastings - looking forward to a great night.

08.01.2022 Our soil mainly consists of decomposed granitic-loam with a predominance of quartz particles on a base of clay. Vines, through photosynthesis, convert air, light and heat from the ethereal into the material. Air, light heat into taste, colour aroma.... #Granite#Marble#Quartz#Quartzite #syrah #TheWineLovers #wine#dinner viticulture #schist#harvest2021 #vineyards#vin #winestagram #winetime #winetasting #finewine

05.01.2022 We miss big tastings as well, in the meanwhile#UK https://shop.lescaves.co.uk/lescaves-product/15CAARRF WINE OF THE WEEK: 2015 Adam’s Rib Red, @castagnabeechworth . The Castagna Vineyard is situated at an altitude of 500 metres five-and-a-half kilometres outside the beautiful town of Beechworth in Northeast Victoria, high in the foothills of the Australian Alps. ... The soil consists mainly of decomposed granitic-loam on a base of clay, the climate distinctly Mediterranean with hot days and cool nights. The land is farmed biodynamically, using Rudolf Steiner’s biodynamic principles as Julian Castagna believes it is the best way to achieve optimum fruit quality that best expresses its terroir. Hand harvesting leads to gentle crushing of whole clusters and some destemmed grapes. Fermentations take place at their own speed with native yeasts, pressing is done by hand with a basket press, and the wines are never fined or filtered. New oak is generally kept to a minimum. Adam’s Rib is son Adam Castagna’s project, but very much a chip off the old block in terms of style. Elegance and authenticity are the watchwords here. In this blend, the Nebbiolo gives the wine tension and structure whereas the Shiraz bequeaths a lovely roundness. The nose speaks of worn leather, freshly turned earth, some tar and rose petal, and just a hint of Chinese five spice. In the mouth there are lovely floral hints and suggestions of raspberry, cherry and anise. . .
