Tasting Notes

*Max 3 BOTTLES per customer* Exclusively Stellenbosch fruit. Cacoa nibs, bramble fruits, dried orange peel and a pretty rose oil note with masses of cracked black pepper. Immense structure to the palate - stewed strawberries, brown sugar, blueberries and umami meaty notes tangled with dried herbs. The tannins are fine and gritty tannins finishing very long.

More Info

It's been a decade since Duncan Savage released his first wines under his own label. Back then, he was producing Platter 5 Star wine after 5 star wine for the esteemed Cape Point Vineyards, and cementing himself as the Cape's foremost authority on the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon variety. Fast forward 10 years, and the secret is certainly out about Duncan's talent. Throughout his time at Cape Point, Duncan grew to understand coastal sites, and has continued to seek out maritime and high elevation sites across the Western Cape which he explores through his range of highly sought-after wines. A keen surfer and CWG member, demand always exceeds supply of his exceptional wines.

FROM THE PRESS

“Labelled as the Savage Red, this has been a varietal Syrah since 2017, using grapes from a single site in Kuils River on granite soils. Made using the submerged cap technique for the first time, this has impressive grip and depth, muscular tannins, tapenade and fynbos top notes, savoury undertones from 50% whole bunches and a core of damson, squid ink and blackberry. 2025-32”
96pts, Tim Atkin
“A firm, fragrant and savory syrah that exudes aromas of sage, white peppercorns, brambleberries and licorice. It’s medium-bodied with a tight tannin frame. Peppery and focused. From granitic soils close to Polkadraai area. Try from 2025”
94pts, James Suckling
