Savage White Blend 2022
‘75% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Semillon. Matured for 12 months in 500-litre barrels, 20% new. Complex aromatics of fennel, elderflower, blackcurrant, peach and nectarine while the palate is wonderfully harmonious – good fruit weight, creamy texture, the acidity well integrated. Rich and satisfying – alcohol is 13.7%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100

‘Grapes sourced from the Langverwagt farm in Kuils River on the outskirts of Stellenbosch. 100% whole-bunch fermented. Matured for 13 months in older 500-litre barrels before a further 10 months in foudre. Red currant, wild strawberry, dried herbs, cured meat, pepper and spice on the nose while the palate has good fruit density, bright acidity and powdery tannins. Succulent and balanced – alcohol is 13.8%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
