2023 Savage, Salt River, Sauvignon Blanc, Western Cape, South Africa

Description

The nose of the 2023 Salt River is once again incredibly restrained for a Sauvignon Blanc. There is a hint of cut grass here, but otherwise, it is wonderfully mineral with aromas reminiscent of patio stones after rain. An herbal note comes through on the palate, which has such a lovely texture; it is full of energy, so pure, and superbly cleansing. Just a hint of savoury complexity lingers on the fine, elegant, and refreshing finish.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16/20

100% Sauvignon Blanc. 5 months in foudre and barrels of various sizes.

Duncan Savage’s pouring wine: a throwback to his Cape Point days? It’s tight and floral, light and refreshing, though not exactly long-faced serious.

Drink 2023 - 2025
