Sold by Just Wines
Born in the sun-drenched vineyards of South Australias Adelaide Hills, this vibrant blend marries the rare Savagnin locally known as Traminer with classic Chardonnay. The high-altitude Western Branch Vineyard, perched at 400m, gifts the grapes a crisp acidity and mineral backbone, while cool nights preserve delicate aromatics. Here, a serendipitous history unfolds Savagnin, once mistaken for Albariño, thrives in this terroir, its thick-skinned berries resilient to late rains. Crafted using a blend of stainless-steel fermentation and skin-contact techniques, this wine honours the regions experimental spirit.Tasting NotesA lively dance of citrus blossom and white peach greets the nose, followed by a palate of juicy apricot and pear, lifted by a whisper of crushed flint. The finish lingers with a subtle almond creaminess, balanced by a zesty, saline edgea nod to the vineyards ancient, fossil-rich soils.Food PairingPair with Thai green curry or lemongrass-infused seafood. The wines bright acidity cuts through coconut richness, while its floral notes harmonise with aromatic herbs.
