Castagna Beechworth Genesis Syrah 2019

Castagna Beechworth Genesis Syrah 2019 is a premium cool-climate Shiraz from Beechworth, Victoria. Expressive dark fruit, peppery spice, and a subtle, smoky edge define its character, with balance from lively acidity and refined tannins. A wine that shines now with decanting, yet has the structure for short-term cellaring. Pairs well with roasted lamb, game dishes, grilled mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Tasting notes - Appearance: Deep ruby with a slight garnet hue - Aroma: Black plum, blackberry, and blueberry; pepper, smoked meat, violet, and a touch of cocoa - Palate: Medium-full body, fine tannins, bright acidity; flavors echo the nose with dark fruit, pepper, espresso, and savory notes; oak well integrated - Finish: Long, spicy, mineral-driven, with a lingering savory finish
