The Girl Next Door Syrah 2024
Savage WinesBeautiful ruby red colour. Lots of dark fruit and floral notes in the aroma, but also a certain spiciness with pepper and coriander. This is typical for syrah. The taste is elegant, concentrated and in everything this is a great wine.

About the winemaker
Duncan Savage graduated from Elsenburg Agricultural College in 2002, as one of the top students. That same year, he also began working as a winemaker at Cape Point Vineyards. In 2004, he additionally became responsible for the vineyards, or viticulturist. Duncan is a traditional winemaker, so he also uses traditional winemaking methods in the cellar. He works not only with stainless steel tanks, but also with oak barrels and clay amphorae. In 2011 he was given the opportunity to start making wines under his own name. Over the years Duncan has learned to deal with vineyards located on the coast and at higher altitudes, so-called coolclimate terroir. The knowledge he has gained is reflected in the wines under his own name. The red wines do not have a high alcohol content. They are rather slender and elegant, rather than thick and ripe, as one so often sees in the new world.
