Castagna Chardonnay

The palate is tense, mineral, and beautifully refined, opening with lemon zest, white peach, and green apple carried by bright, crystalline acidity that gives the wine drive and precision. Texture is fine, lightly creamy, and subtly chalky, showing quiet power without heaviness. The mid‑palate reveals layers of flint, struck match, almond meal, and gentle spice, balanced by a cool granite‑mineral line typical of Beechworth. The finish is long, focused, and saline‑edged, leaving citrus, stone fruit, and a lingering mineral echo.
