Castelli Estate has quickly become one of our favourite wineries, and has now established itself as a genuine star of Western Australian wine. The Castelli wines are produced from grapes sourced from the finest single vineyards throughout WA's Great Southern region.
The 2021 Castelli Riesling is another superb example of Great Southern Riesling that's already proving enormously popular. Sourced from four individual sub-regions of the Great Southern where each plays a role in bringing different characters to the overall wine. The lifted floral and rose petal aromas (essence of Mount Barker) are perfectly balanced on a central citrus/lime core (Albany, Porongurup influence) with talcy acidity and textural mid-palate weight (Frankland River).
There are some very attractive nuances of perfumed stone fruit and crushed wildflowers. Typical of Great Southern Rieslings, the wine is very attractive in its youth but the biggest smiles will be with those who have the patience to cellar for 10-15 years.
