The Story
The 2023 Salt River Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of five different vineyard sites located around Stellenbosch. The anchor of the wine is the now a 35year-old bush vine vineyard grown on the slopes of Bottelary. The other components are trellised and bush vine vineyards, with various different aspects, planted in granitic soil. These vineyards have combined exceptionally well in creating the saline mineral style of Sauvignon.
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.
