Savage Wines Thief in the Night is a distinctive red wine from South Africa, known for its ability to reflect the terroir of the region. Crafted under the mastery of winemaker Duncan Savage, this wine comes from old dry-farmed vines at high altitude in Piekenierskloof, a place recognized for its decomposed sandstone soils. Predominantly composed of Garnacha grapes, with a touch of Cinsault and Syrah, it captures the pure essence of its surroundings. The manual harvest and rigorous grape selection are complemented by spontaneous fermentation that includes up to 20% whole clusters, contributing to structural complexity and captivating aromas. Aging for 10 months in neutral oak foudres and concrete eggs allows the fruit profile to remain free from heavy wood flavors. This wine presents a nose filled with aromas of rose petals and wild strawberries, and on the palate suggests a medium body full of flavors of red licorice and blueberry, with a long and mineral finish. From its limited production to high critic scores, Savage Wines Thief in the Night promises to be a tasting experience that delights even the most discerning palates.
