Savage Red (syrah)
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 100% Syrah. 50% whole cluster fermentation in open-top containers. Tim Atkin 96 Points - "Duncan Savage uses grapes from three Kuils River parcels, all located on granite soils, to produce what he calls the "stalwart red" of his range. Using 70% whole bunches and 30% submerged cap fermentation, it's an intensely perfumed, grippy Syrah with white pepper and incense top notes and layers of fig, damson and blackberry fruit. Drink 2025-35.". Wine Advocate 95 Points - "The 2021 Proprietary Red displays a hint of flint with a kiss of reduction and spicy red fruit essences on the nose. Medium-bodied with 13.8% alcohol, the palate shows impressive depth and freshness with savory and meaty notes before delightful mineral notions of granite and floral potpourri expressions wade across the mid-palate. Currently a little nervous, give it another year in the bottle, and it should govern until its 20th birthday, perhaps even longer. Just over 13,000 bottles were produced from 70% whole-cluster Syrah. Drink 2024-2041." |
