Sirromet Wines 2013 Le Sauvage Chardonnay also received the Best Buy Award at Tasting Book’s
Best Wine in the World competition, making Sirromet’s wine not only the most popular white wine
in the competition but also one of the best value buys in the world. With only only 1% of the wines
involved awarded, BWW-The Best Wine of the World-competition is deemed to be the toughest
wine competition on the planet. The six main categories included red wine, white wine, rose wine,
sparkling wine, fortified wine and champagne categories. Under each category, the best wines were
awarded also according to price level and country categories.
Sirromet attributes the flavour and quality of their wines to the exceptional fruit grown in their three
vineyards at 820-metres altitude at Ballandean on the Granite Belt. With over 100 hectares under
vine Sirromet is the leading and most awarded Granite Belt producer.
French for ‘The Wild’, the unique Le Sauvage range of wines handcrafted by Adam and his team are
‘Wild’ fermented by the natural yeast from each vineyard, resulting in a unique range of wines with
greater complexity and layered flavour profiles.
