Savaterre Pinot Noir 2024
The Wine
It didn’t seem extraordinary from a growing point of view but the results are outstanding and speak for themselves. After rejecting all the 2023 Savaterre reds as not being up to standard (and being tipped down the drain) this is a pleasing outcome. I have never released a Pinot Noir so young but I feel the harmony of this wine is exactly where I want it. It is destined for a promising future. The 2024 Savaterre is an immensely seductive wine of great definition and complexity. The aroma alone will have you at “hello”.
Is this the best Pinot Noir I have ever made?
Certainly, it’s a contender with the 2022. And it looks fantastic this young. While not the most powerful rendition of Pinot Noir we have produced it’s just so intricate, detailed, seductive and complex. More Burgundy than Australia. Keppell Smith, Savaterre

About the Wine Maker 
Savaterre vineyard, tucked away in the mountains of northeastern Victoria, near the charming town of Beechworth is one of Australia’s leading exponents of Chardonnay. Owner and winemaker Keppell Smith first discovered the granite-rich slope on Beechworth’s renowned “Golden Mile” back in 1996. Since then, his Chardonnays have become some of the most exceptional in the country - complex, age-worthy, and world-class!
