Profile

“Savitar” is a mythical dragon-like monster, and this wine is so named because of the impression Frank Mitolo and Ben Glaetzer had upon tasting one particular lot in the Willunga vineyard. They were so blown away they decided to make a Shiraz from just the small lot, and Savitar was created.

Critic awards

The full, bright and deep colour isn't a false prophet. Ben Glaetzer's skill as a winemaker is writ large across the face of this beautifully shaped and balanced wine. Its purity and line of wild blackberry fruits comes into full focus on the back-palate and finish. An altogether exceptional wine from a very good vintage.

— 97 points, Halliday Wine Companion

Deep, brilliant violet. Powerful, spice-accented scents of ripe dark berries, candied licorice, violet, mocha and smoky minerals. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering plush black and blue fruit preserve, fruitcake, vanilla and dark chocolate flavors energized by a suggestion of cracked pepper. Becomes sweeter and deeper with air and finishes smooth, smoky and very long, with harmonious tannins adding shape and gentle grip.

— 93 points, Antonio Galloni - Vinous
