Savage Wines Never Been Asked To Dance 2021

In this exceptional vintage, all the classical aromatics are on show with layers of complex crushed granite, struck flint, wet stone together with pithy white peach, dried baking herbs, fynbos and dry summer bushveld. On the palate there is an incredibly fresh, energising acidity that adds a wonderful frame to the rich textural concentration of yellow summer orchard fruits, pineapple pastille, toasted almonds, white peach and apple puree nuances.
