The 2014 Follow The Line (named because the farmer told Duncan Savage to follow the telephone poles to find the vineyard that he leases out - hence the label) is a blend of 58% Cinsault, 21% Grenache and 21% Syrah. Including a lot of whole cluster grapes picked at around 12.5% to 13% potential alcohol, it has a lovely, pure and transparent nose with cranberry leaf, rose petals and a touch of rooibus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, precise and taut, somehow effortless and refined, with an engaging bitter cherry note on the finish that urges you to take another sip.

Country: South Africa

With its hot, long summers and oceanic winds from both the west and the east, South Africa is something of a haven for a wide range of imported grape varietals. Since the mid-18th century, the country has been associated with some very fine wines made using complex and careful blending techniques, with one of the most famous and widely loved early examples being constructed from Pontac, Muscadel and Chenin Blanc varietals. Since those colonial days, the regions around Cape Town have proven again and again to be fantastic areas for producing interesting and delicious wines, with many of the best examples of Champagne style sparkling wines originating from these fertile lands. From the scorchingly hot regions of Orange Rivers, to the far cooler and temperate appellations in Walker Bay, South Africa has developed a booming wine industry responsible for many of the finest New World wines available anywhere across the globe.
