Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The wine shows a real individuality and personality with bright fragrant violet perfume, sappy spicy peppery raspberry and redcurrant confit complexity, hints of sun raisined cranberries, cured bresaola, boiled raspberry sweets and wild strawberries. The palate weight is soft and sensual, combining the best of both Grenache and Cinsault to form a harmonious, silky soft sappy red blend. The wine seems to grow exponentially in the glass, revealing layers of strawberry jam, raspberry compote and Turkish delight, all framed with bright crystalline acids that really amplify the wines purity, minerality and sense of place. Sleek and polished tannins with a mellow fruit intensity.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    A very fresh, unadorned style, offering a tightly focused beam of bitter cherry, blood orange and rooibos tea flavors racing through, flecked with a shiso leaf hint on the streamlined finish. Not big, but pure and persistent. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah.

Savage, South Africa
Savage Winery Image
Cape Point Vineyards' winemaker Duncan Savage introduced his own label in 2011. Savage’s goal is to produce rock-solid classic and elegant wines. Through his time at Cape Point, Duncan has grown to understand maritime vineyards a little better. This knowledge led him to source grapes for Savage from maritime and high altitude sites. Duncan is also inspired by many great older reds from South Africa and abroad that have stood the test of time with moderate alcohol and gentle extraction.
