Savitar is a tightly structured yet powerful wine produced in very limited quantities. Delicately balanced such that no single element dominates, Savitar is brooding and intense, an impressive wine for special moments.
AWARDS:
"This is breathtaking and flatteringly classy, showing dark fruit richness on the nose with floral, cedar, clove and smoked nuances. It’s immensely concentrated offering
outstanding depth and density with seamless mouthfeel and lavish texture, while remain graceful and refined, finishing magnificently long and gratifying. At its
best: 2024 to 2043."
"Super-premium shiraz postcode 101: judicious extraction conferring tannic prowess; presumably some whole-berry work imparting floral/iodine lift and a joyous pulpy mid palate; barrel-ferment smoked-meat aromas and a skein of pepper, tapenade and clove-doused freshness. This is a bumptious warm-climate shiraz that nevertheless boasts the aromatic synergy and structural latticework of an expression from somewhere cooler.
Very good."
"A more high-toned, red-fruited, cherry-scented 2018 Savitar Shiraz also hints at vanilla, cedar and dried spices (from the oak), plus some slightly darker berry notes. It’s full-bodied but tighter and more age-worthy than the GAM or Angela, with a taut,
lingering finish."
