The very best wines from the country come from vineyards with a heavy maritime influence, unmatched almost anywhere else in the world. Perhaps no one is more familiar with the trials and tribulations of these very special locales than Duncan Savage – the man behind the curtain for many years at Cape Point Vineyards. It was here that he became obsessed with with marine-influenced wines – so much so that he started his own project out of his garage.
In 2011, he started by making a few hundred cases a year while maintaining his head post at Cape Point Vineyards. However, he quickly noticed that demand for his eponymous wines far outpaced supply. He simply couldn’t handle the inbound calls, and created a website, allowing people subscribe to his list, and then once a year, he releases his inventory to the lucky few.
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.” But it wasn’t long before Jancis Robinson, Tim Atkin and others took notice of Savage’s talent and the very special lineup of wines he was crafting.
Today, the waitlist for Savage’s wines is one of the longest in the country. His desire to maximize the possibilities of South African wine have made him a local hero, and his small urban winery in Salt River, Cape Town is one of the hottest reservations of any place in the entire country.

This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
