Soumah of the Yarra Valley 'Savaro' Savagnin, Australia 2021
“Chalk flew up!” exclaimed John McEnroe back in 1981 and we said the same thing 43 years later when breathing in the aromas on this wine. It’s like walking through a freshly excavated quarry or a marble sculptor’s studio. Those mineral aromas lend a Chablisesque character to this Savagnin (not to be confused with Sauvignon Blanc), sourced from the cool-climate region of the Yarra Valley. It’s wonderfully tight and stony, yet there’s an ample core of riper orchard fruits courtesy of the Australian sunshine that flesh out the mid-palate, keeping it lean yet succulent. 13% alc.
