Castagna Growers Selection Roussanne 2021 from Castagna in Beechworth, Victoria is a rich, full‑bodied white that shows just how special this region can be for Roussanne – all about opulence, spice and granite‑driven freshness in one glass. This Growers’ Selection Roussanne 2021 leans into bold flavour and texture while still feeling bright and energetic.

On the nose and palate, Castagna Growers Selection Roussanne 2021 is loaded with baked apple, lemon tart, orange peel, honey, ginger and buttery shortbread, layered with nuts, oregano oil, cinnamon and a gentle bitter‑sweet twist. It’s forward, dense and seductively spicy, with a coating, mouth‑filling texture, warm, honeyed richness and a late spike of acidity that cuts through and keeps everything in balance.

This is a dream with roast chook, pork with crackling, richer seafood like lobster or scallops in butter, and creamy dishes such as roast pumpkin risotto or truffled mash. It also pairs beautifully with washed‑rind and nutty cheeses like Gruyère or Comté, especially when you want a white that can stand up to stronger flavours at the table.
