The Story
Thief in the Night showcases high-elevation, dry-farmed Grenache from sandstone soils in Piekenierskloof at 704m. Duncan Savage works with the same vineyard that contributes to Sadie’s Soldaat, crafting a wine of purity and poise. Fermentation is spontaneous in open-top fermenters and conical foudre, with 10–20% whole bunch, followed by aging in concrete eggs and seasoned barrels. The result is spicy, floral, and textural Grenache that’s both generous and restrained.
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.
