{"product_id":"savaterre-chardonnay-2024-beechworth","title":"Savaterre Chardonnay 2024 | Beechworth","description":"\u003cp\u003eSavaterre Chardonnay 2024 is a seductive, tightly coiled Beechworth Chardonnay of great focus and precision — a serious, cerebral wine that is a harmonious amalgam of aromas, flavour, intensity, and length, and one that will continue to evolve, mature, and reveal its multiple facets over the coming years. 2024 was an exceptional vintage: long warm days and cool nights allowed slower ripening, with small crop per vine and a mature, close-planted vineyard delivering the perfect conditions for finesse and precision. A beautiful wine at the beginning of a long journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright, glossy golden — the luminous, concentrated colour of a Beechworth Chardonnay of genuine intensity and exceptional vintage character from Savaterre’s mature, close-planted vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlossy and creamy with a savoury nutty element — honey nougat, spicy oak, and a mix of nectarine, pear, lime, and melon, with fine powdery grip to the texture and something of a sour yoghurt flavour adding complexity and depth.

Long warm days and cool nights allowed slower, more measured ripening — aided by the small crop per vine and the maturity of the close-planted Beechworth vineyard. These are the years for finesse and precision, and the 2024 Savaterre Chardonnay is the result: a seductive, tightly coiled wine of great focus that will continue to evolve and reveal its multiple facets over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This is a richer iteration of Savaterre Chardonnay with not much in the way of struck match. It’s glossy and creamy but has a firm cut of grapefruit acidity, there’s fine powdery grip to texture, a savoury nutty element and something of a sour yoghourt flavour, honey nougat, spicy oak, a mix of nectarine, pear, lime and melon with a tangy and savoury finish of outstanding length.” — \u003cstrong\u003e96+ Points, Gary Walsh, Winefront\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Savaterre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48421740839161,"sku":"9369998050079-2024","price":119.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/6820\/0441\/files\/savaterre-chardonnay-2024.webp?v=1779245625","url":"https:\/\/winesellersdirect.com.au\/products\/savaterre-chardonnay-2024-beechworth","provider":"Wine Sellers Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
