Savarro - 2011
Our Savarro story opens in the Northern Italian region of Bolzano where the green-skinned, tight bunched grape was first recorded in the 10th century.
Over the millennia it travelled to all corners of Europe taking on many names including Savagnin, Heida and Bon Blanc to name a few.
The cool climate of the Yarra valley is perfect for our late ripening Savarro which was handpicked before being gently pressed and cool tank fermented to retain the fresh aromatics of the variety.
Fresh floral flavours are displayed on the nose showing citrus fruits, orange blossom and musky nuances. The palate is zesty and fresh with citrus fruits, kaffir lime and crisp mineral acidity.
