The 2025 Stoney Rise Savagnin is a distinctive Tasmanian white wine that showcases the versatility of this rare Jura variety in the cool-climate conditions of the Tamar Valley. Produced by Stoney Rise, it offers expressive aromas of preserved lemon, green apple and pear, complemented by hints of white flowers, fresh herbs and subtle spice. The cool growing season helps retain freshness while allowing the variety's naturally textural character to shine.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with bright acidity and a layered, savoury texture. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and lemon rind are supported by a gentle mineral edge and subtle nutty complexity, creating a wine with both freshness and depth. The finish is long, dry and focused, with lingering citrus and savoury notes adding interest and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for adventurous white wine drinkers looking to explore something beyond the more familiar varieties. Its combination of texture, freshness and savoury complexity makes it highly versatile at the table. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Pair with grilled seafood, roast chicken, pork dishes, mushroom risotto or Alpine-style cheeses.
