“Wine is about fun…It’s such an emotional industry. Everyone says emotion and business shouldn’t be together. But here, this is all emotion.”
Duncan matriculated at Rondebosch Boys’ High in 1995. After a few years of surfing more and studying less, Duncan finally found his niche. Once the wine bug bit there was no turning back and Duncan headed off to Elsenburg.
Elsenburg was followed by 14 incredible years at Cape Point Vineyards before Duncan embarked on his own venture in 2016 and Savage Wines was set up in the heart of Cape Town in Salt River. Vineyards are leased and grapes sourced from around the Western Cape, maritime in nature where possible. Granitic soil is the focus, allowing for wines of purity and finesse, the hallmark of Savage Wines.
