2022 Savage White, Western Cape

2022 Savage White, Western Cape

A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, this is an impressive iteration of the Savage White. From the grape varieties that made Duncan's name, there's notes of blackcurrent leaf and pineapple, and also lots of sea spray and ginger spice. Complex and ageworthy.

Tasting notes

A best-ever release of Savage White in a challenging vintage, this is a beautifully judged cuvée of Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon, fermented in 20% new wood. Using fruit from Stellenbosch, the Overberg and Villiersdorp, it has a top note of stony reduction, pithy lemongrass and pink grapefruit flavours, scented, spicy oak and a palate of remarkable tension and energy. 2024-30
