Savage’s most anticipated release is here!

Duncan Savage’s new vintages make for one of the most anticipated and fastest selling releases of the year. We could feel his excitement when we tasted them together last week – they’re some of the purest and most focussed we have ever bottled, he enthused. The wines reflect the Savage team’s focus on vineyard improvement and their continued pursuit of purity and vinosity. Scarce, characterful, and great value to boot, it’s little wonder they’re in high demand both locally and internationally.

Savage Red 2022
R 395 per bottle

From the Langverwacht vineyard in Stellenbosch, it’s obvious that the Savage Red is Duncan’s golden boy. 2022 is an exceptional Syrah with typical Polkadraai elegance, plenty of tension and ‘haunting aromatics of red and black berries, floral perfume and white pepper’, notes Christian Eedes. It offers that refreshment factor, with 50% whole-bunch and a long, powdery finish that’s deeply satisfying.

Savage White 2023
R 395 PER BOTTLE

Savage White 2023 is a Bordeaux-style blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, delivering the best of both varieties. With arresting aromatics of white florals, blackcurrant and white peach, the 2023 is saline, super textured and bound to be even more rewarding after three years in bottle. This is one of the most highly praised white blends in the country and consistently a benchmark for the category.

Savage Follow the Line 2023
R 395 PER BOTTLE

The 96-point Follow the Line 2023 is very, very smart, remarks Christian. The wine has layered aromatic complexity and a palate that’s pure and precise. ‘Intricate, taut and impressively long on the finish’, he continues. If you’re looking for a light red with personality and charm, this ticks all the boxes. Added bonus – it will age for at least a decade.
