About this Item
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.

Critics Ratings
‘Re-invented 2015, now a Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Clairette Blanche and Chenin Blanc blend sourced from far-flung vineyards and fermented naturally in old barrels, brings richness and texture to the fore. Elegantly poised and almost mystically complex, a classic in the making.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
‘Duncan Savage’s brilliant white blend now includes four varieties, instead of two: mostly Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon with 11% Clairette and 9% Chenin Blanc. Savoury, smoky and packed with favour, it’s tangy, zesty and leesy, with a backdrop of older oak.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 95/100
