Description

 Nestled in the foothills of the Victorian Alps near Beechworth, Savaterre was founded by Keppell Smith in 1996, drawing inspiration from Old World winemaking traditions.

This Pinot Noir is crafted with meticulous attention, benefiting from the vineyard's cool climate and elevation, and aged in the finest French barriques.

The wine boasts lifted aromas of rose petal, sour cherry, pomegranate, and exotic spices, with a complex palate of dark cherry, blood orange, and earthy tones, rounded out by supple tannins and excellent length.

Elegant and refined, the 2021 Savaterre Pinot Noir is a wine of distinct character that evolves beautifully with time in the glass.

"Earthy, cherry, spice, dried rose and liquorice root, quite exotic with maybe, and don’t mind me, something of a quality Nebbiolo character about it... Length is excellent. It really blossoms with time in glass, revealing more layers and complexity, yet what I like most is that it’s a wine of distinct character and personality. A very strong release."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

95+ points - "Earthy, cherry, spice, dried rose and liquorice root, quite exotic with maybe, and don’t mind me, something of a quality Nebbiolo character about it. Dark cherry and spice, richness here and a little earthy, some blood orange, a light chew to supple powdery tannin, some high cocoa dark chocolate in the mix, and intriguing autumnal tones. Length is excellent. It really blossoms with time in glass, revealing more layers and complexity, yet what I like most is that it’s a wine of distinct character and personality. A very strong release." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

This is a delicious, juicy, fragrant wine.

Lifted aroma of dewy rose petal, sour cherry, pomegranate, raspberry and ripe red berry fruits, exotic spices with a subtle gamey truffle finish. Pure, focused and precise with great length, texture and persistence.

An elegant wine of depth, complexity and finesse.

Please open this wine and decant a few hours before enjoyment as this wine continues to evolve and reveal its nuances over many hours.
