The Savage Never been asked to dance brings forth stunningly complex aromatics of crushed granite, flint as well as wet stone, along with pithy white peach and dried fynbos notes in this exceptional vintage. The palate reveals incredibly fresh and bracing acidity that lends a wonderful frame to the rich texture. Yeasty and waxy, this varietal Chenin Blanc indulges with flavors of tangerine and white peach, a good weight and a hint of brioche. It is joined by delicious nuances of yellow summer fruit, pineapple pastilles, toasted almonds and applesauce.

Chenin Blanc from 68 year old bush vines from decomposed granite soils in Paarl. The grapes were whole bunch pressed with subsequent natural fermentation as well as malolactic fermentation. This highly rated Chenin aged for 10 months in 600 liter Stockinger barrels.
