FOREIGN FRIENDS 2026 'JEANNE' SAVAGNIN
Meet 'Jeanne.' She has a beautiful aromatic bouquet with bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit layered with white nectarine, peach, wax and ginger. On the palate, malolactic fermentation brings a creamy texture and hints of toasted almond. With a stunning acidity to finish, this is a wine of sophisticated elegance, focus and structure.
Cold soaked on skins for half a day before pressing. Fermented and aged in small format oak for nine months with 30% malolactic fermentation. Bottled in November of 2026. Vegan.

The Label Story
The Label Story
Like each of our labels, the Savagnin design is inspired by a visionary historical woman. French botanist and voyager, Jeanne Baret is the woman this particular label. A curious explorer, Jeanne unknowingly became the first woman to circumnavigate the globe moved by her love of botany. Dressed as a man in order to make the journey possible, she is known for discovering the bougainvillaea plant. We picked 'Jeanne' as the feature for this label to represent Juliette, the Foreign Friend who made the journey across the world from France to start a new life in Australia.
