“Are We There Yet? is a reference to the distance between Duncan Savage’s urban winery in Salt River and Sjinn’s vineyard in Malgas, the source of this blend of Syrah and 43% Touriga Nacional. Firm, dense and concentrated, it has muscular, red-blooded tannins, flavours of damson, liquorice and blackberry, a violet top note and lovely garrigue spice. A wine that could almost come from the Languedoc.”
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.
Are We There Yet is a blend of Touriga Nacional and Syrah fruit from Malgas.
