2014 has been the most challenging since Chris and Andrea Mullineux have been working with Swartland fruit. Despite drought conditions, 2013 winter had above average rainfall and then spring and early summer had a few rain spells that led to disease pressure and subsequent reduction in quantity in order to protect the fruit quality at picking.

This Rhone varietal cuvee is made up of Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache, Mouvedre and Syrah and aged in barrique for one year (no new oak). Red fruits and spice dominate the aroma profile and the palate is attractive and juicy making this a very quaffable wine.

The 2013 Riebeeks River Red Blend is pure Shiraz. It has a slightly dusty bouquet with blackberry and coca scents, quite fresh though perhaps requiring more floral components synonymous with the grape variety. The palate is medium-bodied with a sharp, bilberry and blackberry infused entry. The tannins feels a little sharp and there is a tinny note towards the finish, but there is satisfactory freshness and it has an easy-going sensibility.

Graphite minerals layer with spicy rich fruit on the nose. The dark berry fruit is layered with more savoury notes on the palate and nuances reminiscent of fynbos herbs add complexity. The tannins are fine and ripe while the acidity brings energy. Drink now to 2019.

The 2014 Single Vineyard Chardonnay comes from a single vineyard planted in 1988, just under six hectares and dry farmed since 2003/2004. It has a tightly would bouquet at first, quite understated with sea spray, red apples and a touch of peach. The palate is quite rounded on the entry, smooth in texture with brioche and creamy notes, harmonious with a soupçon of stem ginger that enlivens the finish. 
Drinking window 2018-2028. 
Neal Martin, The Wine Spectator. 28th April 2017. 

Fruit is selected from 7 vineyard parcels and is fermented and aged in various size barrels, only 10-15% new. Bright red cherry fruit perfume and spicy notes provide a concentration on the nose and palate. The tannins provide an attractive grip and refreshing finish.

After 11 years producing Platter five-star wines at Cape Point Vineyards, Duncan Savage finally realised his dream of producing his own red and white wine before the age of 35 with his maiden (2011 red, 2012 white) vintage. The wines received high critical acclaim with Duncan once again in the spotlight as one of the most exciting young talents in South African winemaking.

A new and exciting star in the South African wine scene, the wines of Savage are on top form. The density and richness at the core of this wine is a step up from Follow the Line. Aromas of dark cherry lead to a palate that balances savoury notes with ripe cherry, cassis fruit, pepper and spice. Richer than the Follow the Line, but still with that crunchy, cool acidity that gives it real lift and an amazing mouth-feel. Long on the finish. Drink 2019 to 2021.

Leaner, greener and less heavily oaked than the 2012. A step in the right direction definitely! The nose is still very slightly sweet but there is very good structure and potential here.

he 2014 Granite Syrah comes from two vineyards in the Paardeberg. It has a very composed bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry and perhaps it is a subconsciously induced reading, but warm granite aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, quite a feminine, supple Syrah that is very well balanced. There are layers of red cherry, strawberry and bergamot scents with a judicious pinch of white pepper that enlivens that finish. This is a very nuanced, terroir-driven Syrah that should give 12-15 years of pleasure.
