Put a Local in your Pocket and Find... Savannah Estate
Savannah Estate lies at the gateway to beautiful Mount View, which boasts some of the most stunning views of the Hunter Valley and is the perfect first stop on any wine tour.
While it is close to Cessnock and has easy access for travellers, it will feel like you're a million miles from the hustle and bustle of the main drag.
Producing quality wines from small select parcels of premium fruit grown in renowned viticulture areas that best reflect their regionality and character, Savannah Estate was named after Savannah Peterson, a third-generation winemaker who grew up on her family vineyards and has since taken over management of the estate.
Savannah embraces wine and food with the same intensity and passion as her forbears and can usually be found hard at work with Gary Reed, who has been the Chief Winemaker across Savannah Estate and Petersons Wines for more than 30 years, to produce new and alternate varieties and styles that include Semillon, Chardonnay, Verdelho, Pinot Gris, Tempranillo, Marsanne, Rose, Chambourcin, Durif, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz as well as a Sparkling White and Sparkling Malbec.
When you get to know the Peterson family history, it's clear their wine is derived from an intense passion and love for the winemaking industry and their close ties to the Hunter wine region.
There's nothing like a romantic country scene to help you relax, enjoy the view and, most importantly – drink wine! With a curated selection of delicious wines to choose from and cheese plates to pair – make sure you don't skip a visit to Savannah Estate.
