Castelli
Castelli is located in Frankland River, within Great Southern—one of Western Australia's most respected cool-climate zones. The region's maritime influence and gravelly soils shape wines of precision and structure. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: a Sauvignon Blanc–Semillon blend that marries the aromatic intensity of Sauvignon with the textural depth Semillon brings; a Cabernet Sauvignon of classical proportion; and Il Liris Rouge, a Malbec-Shiraz-Cabernet blend that draws on the region's capacity for ripe, layered reds. Wine Advocate has rated these wines at 93 points each, reflecting their balance and complexity. The winery's focus on both white and red varieties demonstrates the versatility of Frankland River's terroir—a region where cool nights preserve acidity and phenolic ripeness in equal measure.
