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.

I’m lucky to have a few cases of this instant classic, immaculate and complex, this is a wonderfully pure expression of Chardonnay that is so distinctly Jermann. His extraordinary, multi-layered, extract-loaded whites are landmarks of contemporary winemaking. This one has a lot of nuance and depth, and finishes strongly with what Wine Spectator called, “A streak of tangy salinity.”
The newly released 2021 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last three vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
For those of you looking for a semi-dry Riesling to pair with seafood, salads, pastas or poultry, you don’t have to look any further. Ratzenberger is a benchmark in the region and their consistency in making expressive, classy Riesling continues with the newly released 2019 Kabintt Feinherb. It manages to bring to the table savory, sweet and tangy acidic notes. It’s a versatile bottle of white, that’s for sure.
This is crafted from old-vines rooted in deep limestone, and dry, limestone-infused clay. The limestone imparts the fine aromatics and crisp tension you find in his wine while the old-vines and clay provide a creaminess in the mid-palate, creating an incredibly balanced summer white. The 2020 Menetou Blanc from Domaine de Loye is loaded with aromas and flavors of white flowers, lime-blossom and citrus fruit. The mid-palate is generous, just great fruit and it finishes long and fine.
