Multi-layered with a gun-smoke entry going to lemon-balm, sandalwood, and ruby grapefruit. From elevated sites in Kaaimansgat and Villiersdorp on soils of sandstone and granite, with a portion of old Stellenbosch bushvine. Whole bunch-pressed, a component fermented in new oak, and oxidative handling results in a left-field Bordeaux-style blend with a soft, rich mouthfeel riven through with a saline acidity and a light grip on the finish.
Situated on the very tip of the African continent, South Africa has proved itself over three centuries to be an ideal location for producing a wide range of wines. Benefiting from something not dissimilar to a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers complemented by both Atlantic and Indian Ocean winds, the grapes which grow on the valleys, mountainsides and plains of this fascinating country can ripen to their fullest capacity, producing wines packed full of fruity flavors and an array of interesting and enticing aromas. As a former colony, South Africa has long since been home to a range of different nationalities, who each brought something of their wine culture with them. As such, many European grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and others have been given time to flourish in South Africa, allowing the country to develop a diverse group of wine types which are proving increasingly popular around the world.

Wine Advocate
A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, the Savage Wines 2023 Savage White is the only wine in the portfolio that sees a little bit (10%) of new oak. The intent is to offer a textural interpretation of these two grapes. The wine shows natural freshness, white flowers, wood spice and a hint of reduction. The 2023 vintage was cooler, like 2017, making for a classical growing season. This wine has a long saline finish with orchard fruit and pear with a mid-weight approach. The wine is left on the lees for as long as possible to augment that impression of salinity and to create longevity. The first vintage of the Savage White was 2012, and the first vintage of the Savage Red was 2011.
