Savaterre
Beechworth Chardonnay
Beechworth, North East, Victoria, Australia
No formal notes. From Beechworth in north eastern Victoria in the foothills of the alps and a neighbour of Giaconda who make one of the best Chardonnays in Australia. A very good cool climate Chardy with citrus and grapefruit notes - some flint. Served on Emirates First Class. A touch of well balanced French Oak.

Apr 24th, 2023Pale to medium lemon in colour. Immediate impressions- Oaky, Leesy, white peach, hazelnut - profound aromatics. A medium to full bodied palate with these same peachy leesy nutty flavours - a little broad - medium minus acid. Savaterre from Beechworth is near Giaconda, who many wine professionals in Australia, think make the best Chardonnay in Australia. The label on this Savaterre recommends decanting which I didn’t do. Rarely decant whites.

Fruit, oak, acid. Clean and precise.

Jun 16th, 2020A lively crisp Chardonnay fleshing out nicely at 7 years in a very good place. From the cool climate Beechworth area in the gravelly soils in the foothills of the Victorian Alps. Great balance - not too lean and not too Dolly Parton. Savaterre is a neighbour of Giaconda , one of Australia’s best Chardonnays.

Mar 24th, 2019Only ended up with a sip of this so not really enough to judge it properly. Savaterre is a near neighbour of Giaconda who make one Australia’s best Chardonnays near Beechworth in Northern Victoria. Surpassed on the day by the other 2 Chardonnays.

Awesome vanilla, oak, and stone fruit nose. Big bold and structured. Attack of citrus, peach, vanilla, and mineral all in harmony. A big wine that demands time. Will age v well

Sep 24th, 2016Fresh citrus and vanilla nose. Glorious sweet fruit. Complex and full bodied - very burgundian. Fruit, mineral and oak in perfect harmony, all at 11. Lots of mineral, on firm acid spine. Very long. Love to try this in 10 yrs.

Personal: Too woody for my liking. Still a good chardonnay nonetheless.
