Savage Proprietary White 2022 – 750ml

Duncan Savage established his own label in 2011 having previously been the winemaker at Cape Point Vineyards. Through careful selection of excellent vineyard sites around the Western Cape and an intuitive winemaking style, he has quickly forged a reputation as one of South Africa’s finest producers.

 

Though originally a blend, Savage’s Red is now pure Syrah sourced from two sites, one in Stellenbosch and the other in the Swartland. This is an incredibly focused, Rhône-esque expression of Syrah, with wonderful notes of red and black fruits, white pepper and dried flowers. Plush yet tempered by pinpoint acidity and an ultrafine web of tannins, this is a sure-fire keeper for the cellar.
