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.

The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.
From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.
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.
