2024 Castagna Allegro Syrah Rosé

The 2024 Castagna Allegro Syrah Rosé is a distinctive Beechworth Rosé crafted by Castagna Vineyard from Syrah with a small inclusion of Viognier, produced using certified biodynamic farming. Unlike many pale, delicate rosés, Allegro is made as a serious food wine with greater texture, depth and complexity. It displays an attractive copper-pink hue and an expressive bouquet of rosehip, wild flowers, red cherry, white pepper and clove, with subtle savoury herbal notes adding intrigue.

On the palate, it is dry and medium-bodied with juicy red berry flavours, bright natural acidity and fine, crisp tannins that give the wine a subtle red wine-like structure. Notes of red cherry, raspberry, spice and savoury herbs are complemented by a long, textural finish with impressive freshness and balance. Its combination of weight, finesse and vibrant fruit makes it equally suited to the dining table as it is to casual enjoyment.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking for a sophisticated rosé with texture, savoury complexity and exceptional food-pairing versatility. Pair it with grilled prawns, charcuterie, roast chicken, Mediterranean vegetables or seared tuna. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years, while its vibrant fruit, spice and layered complexity continue to evolve.
