Meet the Winemakers

…“I was a bit blown away by this range from Duncan. He is achieving his dream of zoning in on choice parcels of old vine from areas such as Piekenierskloof and Malgas. So you end up with a gallimaufry of grape varieties in some blends, yet nurtured beautifully by Duncan to create some thrilling, quite cerebral but delicious wines”… Neal Martin, Vinous

Duncan Savage started his own project in 2011 with the aim to produce elegant and classic wines that reflect his passion for wine and terroir. Duncan previously worked with Cape Point Vineyards as their winemaker and viticulturist and if the accolades that he received whilst working with them was anything to go by, then expectations were always going to be high on his own new releases. We are happy to report that he has not let us down and every year we try our hardest to get hold of as much of his highly sort after stock as possible. Extremely pure wines with minimal intervention, whole punch, usage of amphorae and fruit from predominantly old vines, his wines are a true reflection of the excellence of what South African wines now offer. Beautifully simplistic packaging, imaginative names and blends, the wine carries itself in an almost effortless yet classy manner. A winemaker that has confidence in both what he is doing and the vineyards that he is working with, something that just stands out in the 2019 release.
