Duncan Savage, previously the winemaker at Cape Point Vineyards, introduced his own label in 2011 with a goal to produce rock-solid, classic and elegant wines. Through his time at Cape Point, Duncan grew to understand maritime vineyards, which led him to source grapes for Savage wines from maritime and high altitude sites around the Western Cape.
Sourced from a dry-farmed Chenin Blanc vineyard planted in 1956 on the border of Paarl and Stellenbosch, Never Been Asked To Dance is a wine that speaks clearly of its granite roots. Textural and savoury, it unfolds with aromas of yellow apple, citrus peel and wild honey. On the palate, it’s waxy and complex, with gentle lees richness and a touch of tannic grip providing structure. A beautifully layered expression of old-vine Chenin.
