Discover the elegance of Savage Girl Next Door, a unique Syrah from South Africa. Made by Duncan Savage, this cult wine comes from a small maritime vineyard that produces grapes of exceptional freshness and concentration. It's a gem for lovers of liquid luxury.
Savage Girl Next Door is one of the most exclusive and appreciated expressions of Syrah worldwide. This cult red wine, created by renowned winemaker Duncan Savage, comes from a tiny vineyard of just 0.38 hectares in Fish Hoek, located only 3.2 kilometers from the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The proximity to the sea gives the vineyard a remarkable maritime character, with sandy gravel soils that limit yields and produce grapes with outstanding concentration and freshness. The making of this wine is based on a minimal intervention philosophy, using 50% whole clusters that ferment spontaneously. After gentle basket pressing, the wine ages for 10 months in foudres and 500-liter French oak barrels. The result is an ethereal Syrah, reminiscent of the great wines of the Northern Rhône (Côte-Rôtie), but unmistakably South African. Savage Girl Next Door is more than just a wine; it is a unique sensory experience, perfect for lovers of liquid luxury. Its tasting note reveals a bright ruby red with violet reflections, intense aromas of violets, black cherry, plum, and a distinctive touch of black olive. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and elegant, with a long, spicy finish. Served at 15-16°C and recommended to decant at least an hour before enjoying, this wine pairs excellently with game meats, roasted lamb, duck breast, or aged cheeses like Pecorino. It is a limited production Syrah, making each bottle a true treasure for collectors.
