CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Red Blend comes from the usual block in Polkadraai on a granitic belt in a wind-exposed site that Savage looks for. Unlike other cuvées, it spends two years aging-the first in old 500-liter barrels and the second in oval foudres and conical tanks. This has a wonderful bouquet with expressive brambly red fruit and light tertiary scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a pliant entry. Liberally sprinkled with white pepper and fennel toward the finish, this is very fine, very sophisticated and very harmonious.
