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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Perfumed and savoury\u003cbr\u003eAromas of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry layered with cracked pepper, violets, smoked herbs, olive tapenade and subtle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Refined and structured\u003cbr\u003eMedium to full-bodied with concentrated dark berry fruit, savoury spice and fine tannins supported by fresh acidity and mineral tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and peppery\u003cbr\u003eA persistent finish with lingering black fruit, graphite, spice and elegant savoury complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A refined and beautifully detailed syrah with aromas of blackberries, cracked pepper, violets and smoked herbs.
