This status was highlighted when Wine Ark; Australia’s largest wine storage provider, named Savaterre Chardonnay (2022 vintage) as the 7th most collected wine of 2024. This placed it alongside Leeuwin Estate Art Series, Giaconda and Pierro as the only other Chardonnays listed among the top 10 wines.

Here is the art of winemaker laid bare, in all of its beauty as well as mystery. It's a slow reveal, all the better to take in a wine both plush in fruit and fine in structure, citrusy fresh and oak defined, savoury influenced and varietally pure. Complex, tangy fresh aromas arrive Beechworth-bright before leading into a tightly packed, concentrated palate of lemon citrus, grapefruit, stone fruits and toasted almonds creamily textured with honeysuckle aromatics. A suitable ending with saline cut and grip on the long finish. 13.5% alc. Drink: 2026 - 2036.

This is a richer iteration of Savaterre Chardonnay with not much in the way of struck match (though, granted, that can sometimes vary between bottles in my experience). It’s glossy and creamy but has firm cut of grapefruit acidity, there’s fine powdery grip to texture, a savoury nutty element and something of a sour yoghourt flavour, honey nougat, spicy oak, a mix of nectarine, pear, lime and melon with a tangy and savoury finish of outstanding length. \u003cspan\u003eTasted: Apr26. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13.5% alc. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e$120. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScrewcap. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrink: 2027 - 2036+\"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Savaterre","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":56949040742560,"sku":"$114.90","price":114.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottles","offer_id":56966011224224,"sku":"$114.90","price":689.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottles","offer_id":56966011486368,"sku":"$114.90","price":1378.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/3464\/4640\/files\/Savaterre_Chardonnay_600_NV_97_Points_JH.png?v=1779232206"},{"product_id":"savaterre-pinot-noir","title":"Savaterre Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003ch3\u003e96 Points - Jeni Port\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNestled on an elevated site in the picturesque Beechworth of northeastern Victoria, Savaterre sits among the region's most acclaimed winemakers.

A little more open, a little more aromatic, a little more immediately inviting than the previous release, which is good news for those impatient wine drinkers among us. Lifted and beautifully perfumed in rose petal and violet aromas, red berries, raspberry, blood orange pith and aromatic dried herbs. Comes together in perfect sync, integrated in fine tannins, with small red berries, herbs and aromatics on show and a freshness of acidity that pulses and brightens the whole experience. But, yes, for those not impatient, be assured it's got a decade in it, easy. $100. 13.5% alc. Drink: 2026 - 2036.

Raspberry, cherry, wet leaves, dried rose, cedar and spice, with a some cut red capsicum and smoked paprika, or maybe Lapsang souchong tea. It’s medium-bodied, a little sappy and meaty, red fruits and spice, a beetroot earthiness to it, a crisp feel with light smoky and grainy tannin, finishing with excellent length and a twist of orange peel and ginger. Compelling and individual. It’s a really good wine. \u003cspan\u003eTasted: Apr26. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13.5% alc. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e$100.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Screwcap. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrink: 2027 - 2038+\"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Savaterre","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":57032034484384,"sku":"$99.90","price":99.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottles","offer_id":57032034517152,"sku":"$99.90","price":599.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottles","offer_id":57032034549920,"sku":"$99.90","price":1198.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/3464\/4640\/files\/SavaterrePinotNoir.png?v=1779165726"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/3464\/4640\/collections\/Savaterre_Logo.png?v=1779166984","url":"https:\/\/auscellardoor.com.au\/collections\/savaterre.oembed","provider":"AusCellardoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
