Duncan Savage established his own label in 2011 having previously been the winemaker at Cape Point Vineyards. Through careful selection of excellent vineyard sites around the Western Cape and an intuitive winemaking style, he has quickly forged a reputation as one of South Africa’s finest producers. Though originally a blend, Savage’s Red is now pure Syrah sourced from two sites, one in Stellenbosch and the other in the Swartland. This is an incredibly focused, Rhône-esque expression of Syrah, with wonderful notes of red and black fruits, white pepper and dried flowers. Plush yet tempered by pinpoint acidity and an ultrafine web of tannins, this is a sure-fire keeper for the cellar.

The 2019 Red, made with pure Syrah, has a lovely raspberry, wild strawberry, rose petal and wild heather bouquet that blossoms in the glass, displaying wonderful delineation and purity. The palate is medium-bodied with a more austere opening than I am accustomed to on this particular cuvée, and delivers firm tannins and fine grip, though it needs a little more flesh toward the earthy finish. Drink over the next 8–10 years.Neal Martin1st November 2021
