{"product_id":"2024-castagna-allegro-rose","title":"2024 Castagna Allegro Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs far as Julian Castagna knows, this is the only Shiraz Viognier rosé made in Australia, and it's no afterthought. It comes from the same high-quality fruit that goes into Genesis, his much-loved Beechworth Syrah, grown on the biodynamic vineyard he's tended since the late '90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe making of it is a bit unusual. Part of the wine is bled off (saignée) and part is direct-pressed, and it goes into old oak. Julian also takes some of that saignée juice and ferments it to dry on Viognier skins left over from pressing, then blends a portion back in. He compares the style to Tavel rather than Provence, and you can see why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's rose hip and dried flowers on the nose, with pepper and clove sitting quietly behind. The palate has real weight and texture - strawberry, ruby grapefruit, a light savoury edge - and it finishes crisp and dry. A serious, structured rosé from one of Beechworth's most respected names, with the depth to hold for a few years too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"What a great drink...
