Cre Savagnin

If you enjoy whites that aren’t just easy-drinking but invite curiosity, this Savagnin is for you. It gives you the bright freshness of a crisp white, but layered with mineral depth and subtle kernel/almond notes that lend intrigue. It’s versatile at the table and stands out from the crowd for its variety, site-driven authenticity and restrained winemaking. Whether you’re sharing with friends or discovering something new, this one ticks the box.

Location: Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia
Winemaking / Farming Techniques:
Sustainably farmed vineyard fruit; wild fermentation with indigenous yeasts; minimal intervention (unfined, unfiltered) and low sulphur. The aim is to express site and variety with clarity.
Style / Body: Light to medium-bodied white wine with crisp freshness and textural interest, leaning slightly off-beat (given the variety) rather than an overtly rich profile.
Notes: Fresh citrus (lemon, lime zest) and green apple notes emerge on the nose, followed by white florals and subtle herbal lift. On the palate you’ll find chalky minerality, a taut acid backbone, pear skin and possibly a hint of almond or kernel character. The finish is clean, with lingering drive.
