About This Wine
Julian Castagna has believed in the winegrowing prowess of Beechworth since planting in 1997. Grown biodynamically from the start, vine health and showcasing the terroir remains fundamental to this day. Beechworth sits in the foothills of the Victorian Alps, on sandstone and granitic soil. Elevation plays a part here with most vineyards planted on slopes around 400m above sea level. Cool climate, long sunshine hours and a some continental influences ensure grapes grown here are full of flavour and bountiful natural acidity.
‘Barbarossa’ is the long awaited title that was given to a ‘cru’ or single site of Nebbiolo that was planted back in 2003. it wasn’t until 2015 that Julian considered the fruit worthy of the title. This wine was never meant to bulldoze Barolo, the king of Nebbiolo, more run in the same circles as the Queen of Piedmont; Barbaresco.
