Savage “Are We There Yet?” is a refined red blend crafted by Duncan Savage in South Africa’s Western Cape. A mix of Touriga Nacional and Syrah, it reflects the cool coastal climate and meticulous low-intervention winemaking that define the Savage Wines philosophy.
Fermented partly with whole bunches and aged around 10 months in neutral French oak, this wine shows vibrant purity and balance. The bouquet reveals dark berries, black cherry, violet, subtle spice, and a touch of mineral salinity.
On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, elegant, and textured, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a long, refined finish.
Perfect pairing: beef, lamb, duck, grilled dishes, Mediterranean cuisine.
Alcohol: ~13.5 % vol
Origin: Western Cape, South Africa
Style: elegant, balanced, limited production red blend
