Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate was the first critical voice to fall in love, declaring: “He [Duncan Savage] makes some of South Africa’s greatest wines either at Cape Point Vineyards and the bijou namesake label.” The fresh to death 2023 Salt River Sauvignon Blanc just arrived and it’s a doozy. A super smooth growing season in South Africa meant white wines with gorgeous, clean fruit and soaring aromatics. This one also has a great mineral streak and wonderful natural acidity, thanks in large part to the maritime influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean.
