The Savage White is a 69/31 Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend from Elandskloof and neighbouring Villiersdorp. Separately fermented in 20% new wood, it's savoury, pithy and stony, with lemongrass, beeswax and grapefruit flavours, subtle reduction and a long, tapering finish. One of the best Savage Whites yet. 2023-30

The Savage Red is now a varietal Syrah from a vineyard on decomposed granite in Kuils River, right next door to the Polkadraai Hills. Peppery, pure and intense, with no new oak to occlude the flavours, lots of plum and blackberry fruit, detailed tannins and a stony, refreshing finish. Brilliant winemaking. 2023-32

100% Chenin Blanc

93 % Cinsault, 7 % Syrah

Not so long ago, the fruit for Follow The Line used to disappear into the Savage Red, but it's now established as a superb wine in its own right. Fermented with 50% whole bunches, it's an ethereal cuvée of Cinsault with 7% Syrah, with rose petal, pepper and Turkish Delight notes, strawberry and hibiscus flavours and sculpted tannins. 2023-30

Touriga Nacional/ Syrah

The river pebble and shale terroir of David Trafford's Sjinn property in Malgas supply the grapes for this seamless assemblage of equal parts Touriga Nacional and Syrah. Picked earlier for freshness, it still has the brooding intensity of the site, with violet and garrigue aromas, grippy tannins and bramble, fennel and blackberry flavours. 2023-30

48%Grenache, 46 % Cinsault, 6 % Syrah

Duncan Savage sources Thief in the Night from Bielie and Erasmus van Zyl's vineyards at 600 metres in Piekenierskloof. Partnering Grenache with 11% Cinsault and 3% Syrah, fermented with 20% whole clusters, it's pale, crunchy and refreshing with redcurrant and pomegranate fruit and wonderful balance and minerality. 2023-3

100 % Syrah, uit Noordhoek!! Zeer uitzonderlijk!!

The only thing wrong with this wine is the tiny quantities involved. Sourced from a 0.38-hectare Cape Peninsula parcel that's "beaten up by the wind", according to Duncan Savage, it's one of the most northern Rhône-like South African Syrahs, with clove and white pepper aromas, 50% whole bunches, intense goji berry and black cherry fruit and remarkable energy. 2024-32
