Tasting Notes
‘A best-ever release of Savage White in a challenging vintage, this is a beautifully judged cuvée of Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon, fermented in 20% new wood. Using fruit from Stellenbosch, the Overberg and Villiersdorp, it has a top note of stony reduction, pithy lemongrass and pink grapefruit flavours, scented, spicy oak and a palate of remarkable tension and energy. 2024-30 – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 97/100’

He has been on very fine form for the last few years, but right now? Oh boy, he's on fire. "Duncan Savage thinks he hasn't hit his full potential yet. Heaven help his rivals when he does."- Tim Atkin MW. Awarded winemaker of the year twice in 2023! Duncan Savage was awarded 'winemaker of the year' by Tim Atkin MW, and by the editor of Platter's Guide to South Africa Wines in 2022.
