Duncan Savage matriculated at Rondebosch Boys High School in 1995. In 2016. Savage Wines was set up in the heart of Cape Town in Salt River.
Vineyards for his wines are leased and grapes sourced from around the Western Cape, maritime in nature where possible. Granitic soil is the focus.
"The 2020 Savage Red is 100% Syrah on decomposed granitic soil from 7.5-hectares of trellised bush vines managed by Duncan Savage. Matured in used 500-litre barrels for 12 months and 10 months in foudres. This has a highly floral, rose petal and rooibos-scented nose, very well defined and surfeit with personality, light tertiary scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, granular in texture, dusky black fruit laced with black pepper and sage, structured with wonderful freshness on the Côte-Rôtie like finish. Superb".
Drinking Window: 2025 - 204
