{"product_id":"savaterre-chardonnay-750ml","title":"Savaterre Chardonnay 2024 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eSavaterre Chardonnay is the estate white of Keppell \"Kep\" Smith, who founded Savaterre and still owns and makes the wines. The vineyard is in the Beechworth district of north-east Victoria, at Everton Upper, and is planted on what Smith calls the close-planted French model: vines set tightly together so each one carries a small crop of intensely flavoured fruit. Alongside Chardonnay the estate grows Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sagrantino.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe 2024 vintage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSavaterre rates 2024 an exceptional Chardonnay year. Long warm days were followed by cool nights, so the grapes ripened slowly, and a naturally small crop on each mature vine helped the fruit ripen evenly. Our importer offers this wine on allocation only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIn the glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winery describes the 2024 as focused and tightly structured, with aroma, flavour and length that are still unfolding. Halliday reviewer Jeni Port, quoted on Savaterre's release page, points to lemon, grapefruit, stone fruit and toasted almond. Expect a Chardonnay of line and restraint rather than richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it lightly chilled rather than ice-cold, around 10 to 12°C, in a generous white wine glass. Savaterre expects it to keep developing and gaining complexity over the coming years, so there is no rush: buy a six-pack, open one now with roast chicken or scallops, and follow the rest over time. The screwcap makes storage simple; keep bottles somewhere cool and dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSingle bottle or six\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a single bottle or a case of six. The case is six bottles of this same 2024 Savaterre Chardonnay, not a mixed pack. Savaterre's second label, Frère Cadet, is a separate wine; this listing is the estate Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso worth a look: the last \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tolpuddle-pinot\"\u003eTolpuddle Pinot Noir 2024\u003c\/a\u003e, the sold-out \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tolpuddle-vineyard-chardonnay-2025-750ml\"\u003eTolpuddle Chardonnay 2025\u003c\/a\u003e page, and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chardonnay\"\u003eChardonnay range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivered Australia-wide.
