About The Wine
The Savage Thief in the Night Grenache Cinsault Syrah brings together three grapes from a classic Rhone blend to create a light, juicy and refreshing New World iteration.
Located north of Cape Town, the Citrusdal Mountains are part of the Western Cape wine region. The high altitudes help to provide a long growing season so that flavours can develop while acidity remains high. This wine proves that with its red-fruit aromas and flavours and the bright acidity, while also showing some depth with savoury tones such as some meatiness and herbs.
Give that the wine is somewhat reminiscent of a Pinot Noir, the Savage Thief in the Night Grenache Cinsault Syrah will delight those who are after a light but delicious drop.
About Savage Wines
Savage Wines is the venture of Duncan Savage, former winemaker at Cape Point Vineyards in South Africa, who started his own label back in 2011. From the beginning, his desire was to make classic and elegant wines, with a nod to the past, while also pushing boundaries to some degree. He sources a lot of his fruit from old vineyards, as well as ones at high altitude, with the focus in the winery being on minimal intervention.
Savage produces a wide range of wines from grapes expected - Syrah, Chenin Blanc, Cinsault – and unexpected – Touriga Nacional, Clairette Blanc, Viura.

Critic Reviews
"A grenache, cinsault, syrah. Lighter weight, soft and supple red, set to more fresh, pleasingly bitter and vibrant, red berry fruit characters with some dried green herb, alpine herb and game meat characters. Flows wonderfully, great freshness here, gentle tug in the web of tannins and a cool, vibrant finish. Pinosity here, and character." Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
