{"product_id":"2023-savage-white","title":"2023 Savage White","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore he set up on his own, Duncan Savage made his name with Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon at Cape Point Vineyards, and that experience shows in every bottle of his Savage White. It's a relaxed, unforced wine, but there's serious thought behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 is 76% Sauvignon Blanc with 24% Semillon. It comes from two cool vineyards on sandstone soils in Elandskloof and Villiersdorp, a step away from the wider Stellenbosch and Overberg spread of the 2022. The wine went through full malolactic, which you'd expect to soften things. Not here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's still racy and tight, with a flinty, struck-match edge up front and a salty, savoury streak. Think lime, pink grapefruit and a green, leafy note, with the Semillon adding a bit of weight and a nutty texture through the middle. Bright, a little grippy, and long. It'll drink well now and has the drive to keep building over the next five years or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo sandstone sites, a maker who knows these grapes inside out, and a wine that's serious without making a fuss about it. One of the Cape's best white blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Duncan Savage's superb white...
