  • Vintage: With the 2024 vintage being one of the earliest on record, it brings exceptional flavour concentration, balance, and complexity at an accessible price.

The Sum Tasting Notes:

  • Colour: Pale green-gold with a vibrant hue, hinting at the wine’s fresh and energetic character.
  • Aromatics: The nose is bright and tropical, offering ripe passionfruit, honeydew melon, and subtle herbal nuances. A touch of lemon sherbet adds further intrigue and complexity.
  • Palate: On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with juicy passionfruit taking centre stage. Flavours of pineapple, guava, and lime juice contribute to the wine’s tropical depth, while the fine acidity provides structure and length.
  • Finish: The finish is clean, bright, and lingering, with a refreshing citrusy aftertaste that leaves you craving another sip.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

  • Fresh Seafood: A fantastic match for seafood, especially oysters, prawns, or grilled white fish. The acidity and citrus notes complement the delicate flavours of fresh seafood.
  • Goat Cheese: Try it with a fresh goat cheese salad, where the wine’s fresh acidity balances the richness of the cheese.
  • Asian Cuisine: Pairs wonderfully with Thai or Vietnamese dishes, particularly those with lime, lemongrass, or chili elements.
  • Salads & Light Pasta: A perfect companion to light summer salads or a simple pasta with lemon and olive oil dressing.

Vineyard & Winemaking:

The 2024 vintage was marked by an early harvest following a mild winter and ideal ripening conditions in the Great Southern region. The fruit was harvested at night to preserve freshness and vibrancy, then fermented cool in stainless steel to enhance aromatic intensity. The wine underwent a short period of lees contact to add texture and depth, ensuring a complex, yet approachable style.

Technical Data:

  • Grape Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
  • Region: Great Southern, Western Australia
  • Alcohol: 13% by Vol | 7.8 Standard Drinks
  • pH: 3.39
  • Titratable Acidity: 7.5 g/L
  • Residual Sugar: 0.17 g/L
  • Cellaring: Best enjoyed in its youthful freshness, but can age for up to 3 years for added complexity.

Best Serving Temperature:

  • Ideal Serving Temperature: 8°C
    Serve chilled for maximum freshness and vibrancy.

Technical Wine Language Explained:

  • Lees Contact: The process of allowing the wine to remain in contact with its yeast lees after fermentation. This adds texture and complexity to the wine, enhancing mouthfeel and flavour.
  • Titratable Acidity (T.A.): The level of acidity in the wine that contributes to its crisp, refreshing taste.
  • Residual Sugar: The amount of natural sugar remaining in the wine after fermentation. This wine has a very low residual sugar, making it dry and crisp.

Castelli Estate wines, founded in 2007 have long been producing award winning premium red and white wines.

The Castelli name is steeped in Italian heritage, originating in the picturesque country village of San Giorgio a Liri, nestled in Italy’s Lazio region – the birthplace of the Castelli family. About halfway between Rome and Naples lies the village of San Giorgio a Liri. Framed by the serene green Aurunci mountain range and the winding Liri River, the village is home to our uncle Gregorio Castelli.

Gregorio carries on the winemaking traditions passed down by our grandfather, Germino. When Gregorio’s elder brother Sam immigrated to Western Australia, he concentrated on establishing the Castelli name in his new homeland. Sam founded an ASX-listed engineering firm and formed the Castelli Group – a diverse conglomerate with investments in renewable energy, real estate development, and wine.

In 2004, Sam and his son Adam stumbled upon the plot of land that would perpetuate the Castelli family’s passion for crafting premium wine in Australia. Sam was always enamored with the scenery around Denmark. With slopes cascading into valleys adorned with eucalyptus trees, and the faint tang of salt from the Southern Ocean carried on the breeze, the 120-acre estate proved to be the ideal setting for the Castelli family to establish their presence.

From those humble beginnings to now, the Castelli Wine range to has seen medals, and trophies, earning critical acclaim. Yet, the true joy comes from knowing that our wines are savored as they were meant to be – shared around the family table, accompanied by food, tales, and laughter.
