Castelli Empirica Uvaggio 2016 Western Australia Great SouthernCastelli Empirica Uvaggio 2016 – It is clear after making this wine why the Southern Rhone and Chateauneuf du Pape region goes crazy for blends of these varieties. The plump, juicy sweetness of the Grenache gives a lovely core that matches perfectly with the rustic tannins and earthiness of Mourvedre. Add a dash of spicy cool climate Shiraz to the blend and the wine provides no end of intrigue. Our winemaking was oriented to focus on achieving complexity by concentrating on highlighting the savoury aspect of the wine. The aim of Uvaggio is to encapsulate a true regional blend, to express the uniqueness of dry grown Western Australian bush vines. Enjoy it’s richness of fruit character in its youth or wait for several years to see the savoury core come to the fore.
