Borachio 2019 Savagnin Ancestral is a rare, gently sparkling take on Savagnin from the cool Adelaide Hills. It delivers zesty fruit, mineral drive and a savoury lift in an effortless, easy-drinking format.The ancestral method stops fermentation early to capture natural bubbles without dosage or secondary yeast additions. This results in a wine that’s alive in the glass, essentially still with a light fizz, offering both freshness and texture reminiscent of a dry skin-contact white, yet lifted by subtle effervescence and orchard fruit energy.

Why you'll love me

If you’re drawn to natural wines with a bit of personality; lively aromatics, citrus bite and that “watch-it-in-the-glass” quality, this is a standout. It’s refreshing without being simplistic, savoury without heaviness, and versatile enough to pair with food or just sip on its own. A wine with fizz, vibrancy and intrigue from first swirl to last drop.

Tell me more

Location: Basket Range, Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Winemaking / Farming techniques: Organically farmed Savagnin grapes, whole-bunch pressed and fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts. The wine is bottled early during fermentation (méthode ancestrale style) to trap natural carbon dioxide, resulting in a gently sparkling, minimal intervention expression. It is unfined and unfiltered with no added sulphites at bottling.
Style / Body: Light-to-medium bodied, gently effervescent with tension and vibrant acidity; a textural, savoury pét-nat.
Notes: Crunchy green apple, lemon zest and lime pith mingle with white stone fruit and citrus blossom. There’s a subtle saline minerality and savoury thread, with a touch of leesy cream and biscuit character from early bottling, finishing crisp and lifted.
