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.
This pure Grenache from the high-altitude slopes of Piekenierskloof captures the power and finesse of its dryland origin. Fermented with a touch of whole clusters, it’s fresh and vibrant, brimming with aromas of fynbos, potpourri and crushed red fruit. The palate shows energy and clarity with bramble, pomegranate and red cherry layered over stony minerality and subtle spice. A beautifully lifted, textural wine with a long, pure finish.
