A cool climate Shiraz that resembles many of the finest french examples. Lovely graphite notes, pepper, spices, and elegant fruit weaved in for good measure. Medium bodied. Elegant and age-worthy.

The Derwent River has created an exceptional vineyard site with marine influences on 3 sides of the vineyard along with the stoney and silt soils providing ideal conditions for this textured and elegant Chardonnay.

What a magnificent wine! A pioneer in the modern Australian Chardonnay stakes, the Vat 47 from the Hunter Valley has a silky bouquet of melon stone fruit and creamy oak that is followed by a palate of extraordinary balance and length. An absolute classic and will only get better with some medium term ageing.

Occasionally, when rare parcels of particularly outstanding Beechworth grapes become available, Savaterre's wine maker Keppell Smith likes to create something unique, like this Chardonnay, and bottle it under Savaterre's Frere Cadet (Younger Brother) label. These wines are created with the same attention to detail that goes into their premium Savaterre label.

A classic Beechworth Chardonnay, straw-gold with a green tinge: aromas of hazelnut, yellow peach, and nuances of matchstick mingled with spicy-oak notes of ginger and orange zest; the attack is full of rich, peach and nectarine fruit flavours.

In the glass: Pale lemon green.On the nose: Lemongrass, lime and lemon zest. On the palate: Light, fresh and zesty with lovely ripe citrus flavours underpinned by racy acidity. A classic youthful and tight Hunter Semillon that will develop well in the cellar.
