Critics Ratings
'Duncan Savage’s subtle blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chenin Blanc is sourced from four different regions. Aged in older, larger barrels, the cuvée changes from vintage to vintage, but the quality remains very high. Spicy, textured and focused, with notes of aniseed, pear and grapefruit.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 94/100
'Unusually peachy nose. And then very strong, sculpted, passion-fruit flavours on the palate. Tastes as though it has been made with a scalpel. At the moment there is a mismatch between nose and palate. I’d wait for this to settle down.' - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2017)
‘A wonderfully expressive nose display the merest hint of fresh herbs before lime, naartjie and grapefruit through peach and even a little blackcurrant. The palate displays massive concentration and is almost chewy in texture, the finish long and savoury. Super-powerful yet perfectly proportioned, it keeps coming at you.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100 (Aug 2017)
