Duncan Savage developed a reputation for making profound, mineral-driven white wines with aging potential from interesting, exposed terroirs, and in 2011 he began his own project, Savage Wines, in tandem with his then-day job. The Savage Wines were met with great critical acclaim and in 2016 he made them his full-time endeavor. He buys grapes and leases vineyards with old varietals in interesting sites all over the Western Cape. His recently completed winery is an urban space in Salt River, Cape Town. The Salt River Sauvignon Blanc is one of the more interesting Sauvignon Blanc's you'll encounter; fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks, concrete eggs and old barrels. The wine spends four months on lees before being bottled, followed by a further two months in bottle prior to release. This is vibrant and energetic, filled with grapefruit and white flowers, loaded with a mineral drive that keeps this endlessly refreshing.
