Wine Varieties

Savina Lane produces red wines of exceptional quality due to our granitic gravel soils and hands-on attention to producing quality fruit.

TEMPRANILLO 

A classic red variety originating in Spain’s premier Rioja wine-growing region. Delicious with tapas, cured ham, herbed meat and smoked sausages. Our 2022 Tempranillo is currently available. 

GRACIANO 

This magnificent but low-yielding variety was saved by the intervention of the Spanish government, which has subsidised new plantings.  The 2022 Graciano Lady of Spain is now available. A lighter style red perfect slightly chilled.

MONTEPULCIANO 

Indigenous to the Abruzzo region in Italy where this medium to full-bodied red wine has been produced for many centuries. We harvested our first few Montepulciano grapes in 2016 and the small amount of wine made from these was quickly sold out. The 2022 Montepulciano has not long been released.

MILLENIUM SHIRAZ

Originally from the Rhône Valley of France, where the variety is known as Syrah, this block of Shiraz was planted in 2000, hence the name. The 2022 Millenium Shiraz is now available.

OLD VINE SHIRAZ

Planted by our predecessors around 70 years ago, only a tiny quantity of this voluptuous, full-bodied red wine is produced from our gnarled old vines. 

Savina Lane currently offers three aromatic white wine varieties 

FIANO

A fruity but dry aromatic white variety that originated in Campania in Italy. Believed by many to have once been enjoyed by the Romans as ‘apianum’ it is considered a classic variety due to its more than 2000-year history. A perfect match for most seafood dishes, cheeses and fruit platters, it also pairs well with Asian cuisines, especially sushi. 

MANSENG 

A versatile aromatic white variety from the Basque country in the south of France and in the French Pyrenees. A legendary wine in its region, but virtually unknown outside it. 

VIOGNIER 

First harvest of this lovely French variety was March 2025 and the wine is expected to be released mid March.
