FOREIGN FRIENDS SAVAGNIN 2023
Winemaking notes - The grapes were first cold soaked on their skins for half a day before pressing. Then it was fermented in old french barriques before going through a partial malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged over winter and spring in old french barriques. Bottled in October.
Tasting Notes - On the nose it offers subtle wildflower and honeysuckle notes with some
spiced apples and a hint of oxidative notes (think dried hay). The palate is very generous with warm, embracing peach, pear and very textural
Food pairing - Grilled fish, White meats, Comté and Creamy sauce dishes.
Grape - 100% Savagnin
Origin - King Valley, VIC
ABOUT
Born over a love of wine, travel and friendship, Foreign Friends was founded by sisters Leila and Crystal and close friend Juliette who met in Beechworth close to a decade ago.
Working in wine distribution as a rep, Juliette moved to Australia from France in 2016 where the trio then met in Beechworth, a special childhood place for Leila and Crystal. Spent together were many vintages, family holidays and harvest parties, from which Foreign Friends was brought to life.
Our vision is simple - to bring all friends, old and new, together over a bottle of wine. From handcrafted wines to curated travel experiences, we invite you to join us on a journey that transcends borders and embraces the richness of different cultures and moments in time. Wherever you find yourself, our friendship travels.
