An ancient varietal with its roots in eastern France, Pinot Noir is a red grape that is highly expressive of its terroir. The long growing season of the Beechworth region allows Pinot Noir grapes to develop slowly and to their fullest, most deliciously intense flavors. Savaterre's has undertones of cherry and plum with depth and velvetiness from maturing in oak.
MIKE BENNIE
It’s a fragrant, lighter, fresher rendition than we’ve seen. Plummy fruit with rose hip tea, sniffs of cranberry and a touch of smoky bergamot-like character in the bouquet. The palate has a juiciness but there’s a tightness too, tannins weave through the sluice of cherry-pomegranate flavours, there’s a light earthy savouriness and the fine finishes fresh and cool. It’s lovely drinking, all up. Such easy, satiny pleasure.
