Serve the Borachio Battered Sav 2022 from McLaren Vale when friends gather on a long summer evening, paired with charred eggplant, grilled halloumi or roasted vegetable tarte tatin. Its lively, textured presence is exactly the kind of bottle you want to grab before weekend plans fill up.

The Borachio Battered Sav 2022 from McLaren Vale opens with bruised pear, wild herbs and a hint of struck match, then layers in saline length and brisk acidity on the palate. The way it balances generosity of fruit with a touch of reductive funk makes it impossible not to reach for a second glass.

Winemaker Borachio gives this skin‑contact Savagnin a confident, modern edge that feels both playful and serious. This McLaren Vale skin‑ferment deserves a place in your order for textural, food‑friendly white drinkers who like something a little different.
