    • Description

      2023 was an exceptional vintage for our chardonnay.

      Long warm days and cool nights allowed slower ripening.

      This perfect ripeness was also aided by the small crop per vine combined with our mature, close planted vineyard.

      These are the years for finesse and precision.

      The 2023 Savaterre Chardonnay is a seductive, tightly coiled wine at this stage that will continue to evolve, mature and reveal
      its multiple facets over the coming years.

      It is a serious, cerebral wine of great focus and precision.

      A harmonious amalgam of aromas, flavour, intensity and,length.

      A beautiful wine that will continue to evolve, mature and reveal as time progresses.

      My Tasting Notes - 2023 Chardonnay

      Straw yellow with flecks of silver and chanteuse reflecting in the light.

      Initial aromas of lime blossom, toasted hazelnut, white nectarines, pink
      grapefruit, bee’s wax and sandalwood.

      Prodigious from the word go.

      Initial taste reveals a sophisticated, elegant, textural wine with incredible
      power and length.

      Classic old world structure frames the wine carrying the flavours to a long and satisfying finish.

      Even as a young wine its potential is so obvious.

      This wine will age beautifully for 20 years.

      If consuming under 5 years please decant for at least an hour for maximum enjoyment. Will continue to improve over
      the next 8 – 15 years.

    Savaterre Wines

    Tucked away amidst the majestic mountains of northeastern Victoria, just on the outskirts of the charming town of Beechworth, lies the Savaterre vineyard.

    In 1996, Keppell Smith, the proprietor and winemaker, stumbled upon this hidden gem after an extensive exploration of Australia's premier wine regions. The unique blend of mild summer days, high-altitude cool climate, and the undulating foothills of the Victorian Alps presented the perfect "terroir" that Keppell had been searching for.

    With an unwavering dedication to crafting exceptional, distinctive wines that stand apart from the crowd, Keppell draws inspiration heavily from the traditions of Old World winemaking. From meticulously selecting vineyard sites to embracing natural yeasts and employing the finest French oak barrels, he seamlessly marries the art and science of winemaking in his relentless pursuit of excellence.

    Beyond its vineyards, the region boasts breathtaking vistas, an abundance of local delicacies, exquisite dining experiences, and the rich history of Beechworth. As its wine scene continues to flourish, the area has garnered recognition as an independent wine region, adding to its allure as a destination for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
