Savaterre
Savaterre owned and operated by Keppell Smith is located very close to the Victorian Alps at Beechworth and provides perhaps one of the very best Pinots in Australia as well as a luscious Chardonnay.
No exoense is spared in both the growing and production of these wines with very select pruning taking place to maximise both flavour and style.
Production is very limited with most of the wines being allocated annually to Quantas for First Class passengers and the rest of us share in the remainder !
The words " bah humbug " uttered in the classic Charles Dickens novel of Christmas Carol must have rung in the ears of those early sailors becalmed in this idyllic stretch of the Tamar River. Taking its' name from nautical charts , Humbug Reach vineyard creates outstanding cold climate wines from hand nurtured vines.
Parri Estate has been establishing exports in a number of markets since 1998.The vineyard is just north of Victor Harbor on Sneyd Road Mount Compass and is perfectly suited to the production of many varieties of white wine as well as Pinot Noir and big black spicy Shiraz as it is grown on limestone soil.
