      Perfumed intensity and finely sculpted structure define the Savaterre Syrah 2022, a striking cool-climate expression from one of Beechworth’s most respected boutique estates. Crafted by Keppell Smith at the elevated Savaterre vineyard in Victoria’s Beechworth region, this Syrah reflects a deliberate Northern Rhône-inspired philosophy, favouring elegance, spice and mineral complexity over sheer weight. The vineyard’s granite soils, cool nights and extended growing season allow the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving aromatic lift and natural acidity while developing impressive concentration. The 2022 vintage delivered exceptional balance and freshness, producing fruit with purity, detail and refined tannin structure.

      In the glass the wine is dark and deeply aromatic, revealing layers of blackberry, plum and black cherry intertwined with cracked pepper, violets, olive tapenade and smoked spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied and tightly focused, balancing dark fruit richness with savoury complexity and vibrant acidity. Careful maturation in French oak contributes texture and subtle spice while allowing the vineyard character and varietal purity to remain central. The wine’s fine-grained tannins and mineral backbone provide impressive structure and persistence without sacrificing finesse. Savaterre Syrah is known for combining power with restraint, and the 2022 release continues that hallmark style with remarkable precision and elegance. A lingering savoury edge and cool-climate freshness carry through the finish, suggesting excellent cellaring potential over the coming decade or more. This Syrah pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck, chargrilled beef or wild mushroom dishes

      Savaterre Syrah 2022

      “A refined and beautifully detailed syrah with aromas of blackberries, cracked pepper, violets and smoked herbs. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and vivid acidity. Elegant, savoury and mineral with excellent persistence.”

      — James Suckling, 96 points

      “This is a cool-climate syrah of real sophistication. Layers of dark berry fruit, pepper, spice and savoury complexity unfold across a finely structured palate with outstanding balance and length.”

      — Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion, 96 points

      “Savaterre’s Syrah continues to impress with its precision and Rhône-like savouriness. The 2022 vintage offers purity, energy and beautifully integrated tannins, finishing long and mineral.”

      Savaterre

      Savaterre is positioned on an elevated site with amphitheatre views across the King Valley in the rolling peaks and valleys of Beechworth. Located across the road from Giaconda, the site was discovered in 1996 by Keppell Smith, owner and winemaker. The close-planted vineyard is on ancient granitic soils at 440 metre (above sea level) and blessed with mild summer days, cool evenings thanks to the lofty elevation of the Victorian Alps. Viticulture follows low input principles and yields are less than two tonnes/acres. In the cellar, Kepp employs Burgundian techniques with the aid of indigenous yeasts. Each wine, be it Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Shiraz has individuality and striking concentration. Savaterre's well structured Chardonnay is matured in generous new and seasoned tight grained French oak for up to 19 months. Chardonnay undoubtedly Savaterre’s hero. The Pinot Noir is deep and layered with cherry stone/chocolate aromas and plenty of richness and flavour, and shrewdly bottle aged before release. Finally the Shiraz, or should we say Syrah? Always highly perfumed with distinct red fruit preserve and floral character. Mid weight, velvety, seamless and almost pinot-like in its vibrancy and weightlessness. Super fine tannins and in a neat frame.
