Critics Ratings

'2017 all Syrah (2016 (4.5 stars, 93 pts) and previous Syrah-led blends). Ripe, concentrated; many layers in its spice, soft berry and savoury notes; all balanced, focused by lively ripe tannins, overall freshness. Already appetising, but future rewards. Wholebunch ferment, large-oak matured, none new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 5* (95 pts)

'The Savage Red is now a varietal Syrah for the first time, having previously been a cuvée of different grapes. Sourced from granite soils and grown biodynamically, it's wonderfully intense, peppery red with real grace, precision and complexity, fresh acidity and just a hint of oak. 2021-27.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 96/100
