The Story

Savage White blends 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon from three high-altitude coastal sites on sandstone and granite soils (213–677m elevation). Duncan Savage ferments the wine spontaneously in 500L oak (20% new) and concrete eggs after whole bunch pressing and oxidative handling. Aged 12 months on lees, then 2–3 in steel, it’s a complex, ageworthy white with fruit purity, texture, salinity, and a signature maritime freshness.

About Savage Wines

Producer Story

Duncan Savage launched Savage Wines in 2011 while still making acclaimed whites for Cape Point Vineyards. By 2016, the project had grown into a full-time pursuit. Working with leased vineyards and grower fruit from old vines across the Western Cape, Savage crafts wines defined by tension, texture, and restraint. His new urban winery in Salt River, Cape Town, is the home for these site-driven, low-intervention bottlings. With a focus on freshness, elegance, and natural balance, Savage Wines reflects a deep connection to South Africa’s coastal terroirs.
