Product Description
This surfer-turned winemaking maestro established the stellar, Platter’s Wine Guide-wowing reputation of Cape Point Vineyards with his stellar Sauvignons. That was until 2016, when he boldly struck out alone to make the wines he always wanted to. Throughout his time at Cape Point, Duncan grew to understand coastal sites, and has continued to seek out maritime and high elevation sites across the Western Cape. Today his wines are in huge demand.
The 2023 Salt River combines fruit from a 34 year old bushvine vineyard in Stellenbosch. Named for the trendy area of Cape Town that Savage Wines calls home, it’s bursting with white pepper sprinkled gooseberries, elderflower, tangy starfruit, white currants, passionfruit and pomelo and its pith. Straight as an arrow, with icy cold Atlantic sea spray freshness.
