Fresh and ready to charm - say hello to Jeanne. Beechworth’s finest, this 2024 Savagnin is a bright and aromatic character with c-c-charisma. A bouquet of white peach, nectarine, dried ginger and gentle florals unfolds in the glass, building complexity as it breathes. On the palate, it’s focused and fresh, with layered texture, citrusy zing, and just enough grip to keep things interesting. These high-country grapes spent a little time cold soaking on skins before fermenting and resting in French barriques over the cooler months - adding depth without heaviness. Think green pear, ginger beer, white apple, a touch of tonic, a pinch of salt. Slippery and succulent... Jeanne is the kind of friend you want at every dinner table.

About the Winemakers
Leila + Crystal Davis + Juliette Menneteau | Foreign Friends

Foreign Friends is the brainchild of sisters Leila and Crystal Davis, along with their close friend Juliette Menneteau - a trio brought together by a love of wine, travel, and good times. Leila, with a background in microbiology, cut her teeth at Domenica before vintages in Beaujolais, the Jura, and Pipers Brook in Tassie. Crystal, the marketing and operations whiz, balances winemaking life with a career in advertising, while Juliette’s deep knowledge of wine distribution rounds out the team. 

Their vision is simple - to bring all friends, old and new, together over a bottle of wine. From handcrafted wines to curated travel experiences, they invite you to join them on a journey that transcends borders and embraces the richness of different cultures and moments in time. Wherever you find yourself, the friendship travels.

Born from late-night harvest parties, vintage seasons, and a shared love for Beechworth, Foreign Friends is all about connection. Whether through handcrafted wines or shared travel experiences, their philosophy is simple: bring old and new friends together over a bottle. Sourcing fruit from places like King Valley and Wombat in Young, NSW, their wines are made with minimal intervention, a whole lot of heart, and just the right amount of mischief. Their friendship travels - and now, so does their wine.
