Savage Thief In The Night 750ml

61% Grenache, 26% Cinsault, 13% Syrah. "This wine is sassy and confident from the get go, showing a rich, deep, savoury, spicy aromatic depth of autumnal leaves, freshly cut hedgerow, sappy earthy black cherry fruits and a subtle peppery broody depth. A seamless fruit-acid balance and a savoury earthy redcurrant and bramble berry spice complexity asserting itself on the long, plush, polished finish." Savage wines, by Duncan Savage: part of the new wave of South African winemakers using artisanal, minimal intervention methods to create elegant, modern wines. Grapes are sourced from small, unique parcels of land in maritime and high altitude areas around the Western Cape.
