'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' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 96/100
‘2022 was a warmer vintage yielding a Savage Red with a touch more generosity. Plums, lavender, cola, violets and the characteristic Langverwagt white pepper. The palate remains taught and focused compliments of the granitic soil tannin. A wine that will drink well over the next 10 years.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | Duncan Savage, a trailblazing winemaker, produces some of SA's most sought-after wines. They are something of a contradiction; 'savage' in their essence of minimal intervention winemaking, but utterly sophisticated in their elegance, drinkability and poise. Every year his following grows, with some of these wines reaching a cult-like status. He sources grapes from across the Western Cape winelands and his cellars are based in Salt River. |
