$100.00A wine grounded firmly in place. The 2021 season demanded close attention — picking in small passes, allowing each parcel to arrive in its own time. There is a sense of quiet completeness here. Violet, spice, and the imprint of Beechworth granite. The fruit sits in a savoury register, lifted, with fine tannins carrying the line. This is a wine of cadence rather than power — it lingers, rather than insists. We believe this is one of the finest Syrah in Australia, if not the New World. At least if the measuring stick is the Northern Rhône. View Tasting Note -
AVAILABLE TO WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY ~ "For me Genesis is indisputably the finest Syrah in the country. An impeccably poised paradigm of eminent drinkability and exceptional taste" ~ Ned Goodwin MW -
AVAILABLE TO WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY ~ “Genesis Syrah deserves its icon status.” James Halliday -
AVAILABLE TO WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY ~ "Among the country's exemplary cool climate syrah, this is revelry and sophistication all at once." Ned Goodwin -
AVAILABLE TO WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY ~ "It has Burgundian syrah, for want of a better phrase, written all over it. It will age into a complex beauty but it has to be said, it’s drinking like a charm now." Campbell Mattinson -
$100.00The triumphant Sangio of Beechworth…Vibrant, moreish, delicious. -
$100.00A conversation between Sangiovese and Syrah. One brings structure, the other perfume. In 2021, that dialogue feels particularly clear: cherry, rose, spice, and a gentle savoury earth. Fine tannins give shape, while the wine unfolds slowly with time in the glass. Composed, expressive, and persistent. An archetypal blend, melding the Italian story with the new frontier, manifests as sangiovese and syrah. While some blends are mishmashes, this works exceptionally well. View Tasting Note -
AVAILABLE TO WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY ~ Castagna’s most heartfelt expression. The spirit, levitating over Italy, while the souls of the feet are hardened by the local turf. The result is moreish, mid-weighted and extremely refined. ~ Ned Goodwin MW -
$100.00"A very different animal to the 16. Herbal. Sassafras. A carapace of firm twine soused tannins binds the more reclusive fruit to future possibility, rather than imminence. Sour cherry, orange zest, scoops of liquorice all-sorts and cardamon..." Ned Goodwin MW -
AVAILABLE TO WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY ~ "…this blend of Sangiovese with some spicy, fragrant Beechworth Shiraz is exactly the kind of wine that will take Australia into the next phase of international acclaim." Penguin Wine Guide -
AVAILABLE TO WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY ~ "Un Segreto bears the stamp of its creator and also that of the vineyard. It’s a unique wine. Although this wine has a great future, we derived considerable pleasure from drinking it." Winewise -
AVAILABLE TO WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY ~ The marriage of sangiovese and shiraz certainly works. The powdery, savoury tannins of sangiovese still make their presence felt, and the shiraz contributes richness to the palate without dominating the blend. Un Segreto bears the stamp of its creator and also that of the vineyard. It’s a unique wine." Winewise -
$42.00"Layers of flavour and texture to taste. It’s an excellent wine with amazing texture." Mike Bennie -
$100.00Bloody, savoury, succulent and fine-tuned …concentrated but shows power without weight… a little pinot-esque …. It’s fabulous. Mike Bennie -
$65.00The now familiar Castagna tannins are exceptionally fine with dusty, spicy oak and lovely fresh acidity. Not quite Genesis but a wine of amazing value. -
$45.00"Good stuff here. Has a juiciness but also swish of firming, sooty tannins, good clove spice elements." Mike Bennie in Wine Front -
$40.00A playful, modern expression of Shiraz that proves not all reds need to be brooding. -
$35.00This is, we believe, the only Australian Shiraz Viognier Rosé. It has a perfume of rose hip and flowers with pepper, clove in the background. A wine with weight, depth and flavour. -
$95.00"This could one day be regarded as the finest sparkling red ever produced in Australia (2005 Vintage)" Campbell Mattinson -
$50.00Rose bright, lots of lively red berry fruitiness, some zesty, briny acidity in the mix, cool, tight bubbles. There’s some halva and nougat notes in the mix, a sense of complexity and freshness alongside savoury characters. Feels gently ‘red winey’ and has lots of detail and vitality despite that. Serious. ~ Mike Bennie -
$50.00Pretty...fleshy and bright, stacked with kirsch and red berry fruitiness but an undertow of stone fruit, creaminess, a sour-sweet finish and some savouriness too. Good, vivid fizz. Complex expression of sparkling. ~ Mike Bennie in Wine Front -
$40.00Vibrant and elegant, with fresh red berry aromas with floral hints and a crisp refreshing finish. -
$45.00Made from Beechworth Syrah; the palate is supple, earthy, rich and round with fine delicately dry spice – vibrant and alive. The balance of fruit and tannin deliver wonderful fruit sweetness. A wine of spicy complexity and structured elegance. -
$100.00Made from Single-Vineyard, BD-Certified Estate Grown Chardonnay, this is an exercise in restraint, not power. The wine is supple, long, structured and supremely elegant. -
$60.00Classic Beechworth Chardonnay. Plump and generous – toasted hazelnut, peach and nougat, but still with lots of granite minerality. -
$45.00"Spicy, lively, intense. Not sure why we don’t pay wines like this more attention." Campbell Mattinson -
$100.00"This wine is epic. So very beautiful this wine. Such wonderful personality." -
$100.00Single vineyard; complex and detailed. Scents of white peach and fresh apricots interwoven with salty minerals. -
$60.00It’s rich in steaming baking aromas. Flavours are even richer and denser, bold and bitter-sweet. It’s a forward, full-bodied style of white wine. Bitter oregano oil, orange peel, honey, ginger... Very seductive Roussanne. -
$45.00"Textural and rich…salty acidity underpinning ripe apples, pear, some preserved lemon. Complex, wonderful expression and wholly its own." Mike Bennie -
$65.00"It’s naughty and nice with the structural rectitude to keep this wine in line – a long nutty spine and impressive freshness. Perfectly lovely." Sarah Ahmed, The Wine Detective -
$50.00"Jeez the damn thing smells glorious. Only a boofhead would dare to make a stab at its ingredients… The bouquet climbs right out of the glass and occupies the table." Philip White -
$50.00"The ultimate saliva-inducing aperitivo designed to awaken the palate for dinner. Let’s just say I wouldn’t want a tank of this a stone’s throw from my back door – it’s way too dangerously drinkable!" Sarah Ahmed, The Wine Detective -
