Castle Glen Vineyard - What Makes a Truly Great Wine?

All Natural Granite Belt Wines Castle Glen Vineyard's Wine Maker and Founder, Cedric Millar believes that a truly great wine comes from treating the grapes like 'Royalty'. Being of service to the grapes in every way and at every stage of production, letting the grapes proclaim their own beauty to the world. He believes in working with the grapes by treating them with the utmost respect.

Castle Glen Winery Grapes are not sprayed with harmful pesticides, nor are they fed with artificial fertilisers. Our healthy, well-established grape vines are carefully tended, preened and pruned, well-fed and nourished with the best natural traditional methods available, ensuring a bountiful harvest.

At harvest time, our precious grapes are carefully hand-picked, no rough handling for them! Definitely no nasty mechanical harvesters are anywhere to be seen. The grapes are then dutifully transported to have all their sweet juices extracted from them. With dignity of course!

The grapes are squeezed with the utmost tender loving care, using our special unique processes. These beautiful grape juices are then barrelled in the finest American Oak Barrels and are let to rest, in order to rise to the occasion, to become what we believe to be some of the finest wines available in Australia.

There is no dulling of the flavour or the colour of the wines by adding sulphur, our wines are rich and lively both in taste and appearance. There are no nasty side-affects, like head-aches or hangovers created by added chemicals and preservatives. From rich, ruby red wines and buttery to golden white wines, smooth, delectable ports to sensational traditional sparkling wines. Each of these fantastic wines has their own unique style of 'Reigning' over our taste buds.

So if you have not had the pleasure of inviting Castle Glen Vineyard's 'Royalty' to your table. Have a taste, give them a try. We are absolutely sure you will become one of Castle Glen Wines very willing subjects. They truly are pleasure 'Divine' right to the last drop!

Testimonial

I have cooked the white chocolate creme mud cake. I have also cooked variations like Jaffa, and Butterscotch and am totally amazed at the taste. They are delicious. I have never really liked the taste of any alcoholic drinks until I found these liqueurs, they are awesome and I won't be mucking around with any others. The fact that they don't contain any of the preservatives which are linked with asthma and other health issues is very important to me.
