Savage Description
Duncan Savage launched Savage Wines in 2011 while still making acclaimed whites for Cape Point Vineyards. By 2016, the project had grown into a full-time pursuit. Working with leased vineyards and grower fruit from old vines across the Western Cape, Savage crafts wines defined by tension, texture, and restraint. His new urban winery in Salt River, Cape Town, is the home for these site-driven, low-intervention bottlings. With a focus on freshness, elegance, and natural balance, Savage Wines reflects a deep connection to South Africa’s coastal terroirs.
Less aromatic than Follow the Line, Thief in the Night showcases the inherent
purity and potency of Grenache. It features notes of cherries, bramble, herbs,
and subtle spice, underscored by a savory tension and firm, chalky tannins. The
2022 vintage from this vineyard meets expectations with a nuanced texture and
added grip, promising a wine that will mature gracefully over the next decade
86% Grenache, 7% Cinsault, 7% Syrah
It is a spontaneous ferment, with 20% whole clusters, and aged 10 months in old foudre. The wine is structured, rich, and medium-bodied with fine tannins, plenty of acidity, and good density, The fleshy palate launches flavors of red licorice, red currant, pomegranate, raspberry, strawberry, bramble, black pepper, and graphite.
