Castagna Beechworth Chenin Blanc

A captivating and finely etched expression of Chenin Blanc from the granite-rich soils of Beechworth. Farmed biodynamically and handled with minimal intervention, this wine is a study in precision, purity, and quiet complexity.

On the nose, it offers lifted aromas of quince, pear skin and lemon pith, underpinned by hints of chamomile, beeswax and crushed almonds. The palate is taut yet textural—stone-fruited at its core, but framed by chalky acidity and a savoury, gently oxidative edge. A mineral line runs deep, carrying the wine to a long, saline finish.

This is Chenin with intent and energy—thoughtfully made, eloquently structured, and deeply reflective of place. A rare Australian take that honours the variety’s nobility while offering something wholly original.
