Castagna’s biodynamic wines are regularly featured in leading wine journals, reviews and media articles. Explore press coverage, critic reviews, awards and international recognition that highlight our Beechworth vineyard, philosophy and vintages.
There is a particular pleasure in tasting a wine across decades. Beyond the individual vintages, a vertical tasting reveals something more enduring: the character of a place, the philosophy of a winemaker and the qualities that remain constant as the years pass.
There are many ways to make wine. At Castagna, we have always believed that before a wine can be great it needs to be true and truth starts in the vineyard.
The 2026 growing season in Beechworth will likely be remembered less for ease or generosity, and more for precision and resilience.
As one of Australia’s most respected boutique wine producers, we’re very lucky that our tiny biodynamically-farmed estate has become synonymous with wines of elegance, terroir and enduring character — a true expression of its unique granitic soils and cool-climate elevation.
