Castagna Castagna 'Aqua Santa' (NV)

750mL / Beechworth, VIC / Australia

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: White Wine

Aqua Santa is Castagna's biodynamic skin-contact white, an orange-style wine made with extended time on skins in the estate's characteristically hands-off approach.

Dried apricot, chamomile and a faint tannic grip define the nose and palate, with the amber colour reflecting real textural weight. It sits closer to a light red in structure than a conventional white, finishing long and savoury.

The style rewards an open mind - this is a wine built on texture and character rather than fruit purity.

Pair it with charcuterie, aged cheese, or a spiced vegetable dish.

Drinking well now and over the next two to three years.
