Savage - Follow The Line Cinsault 2025
type: Product
description: Darling Cinsault | 44-Year-Old Dry-Farmed Bush Vines | Duncan Savage The Savage Follow The Line 2025 is one of Duncan Savage’s most distinctive and sought-after red wines, produced from old-vine Cinsault grown in Darling on South Africa’s windswept West Coast. The 2025 comes from a 44-year-old dry-farmed bush-vine vineyard planted on decomposed granite. The vineyard sits on a south-facing slope exposed to the prevailing south-easterly winds coming off the cold Atlantic Ocean. These conditions help retain freshness and acidity while the mature vines provide concentration and complexity. For the 2025 vintage, Follow The Line is 100% Cinsault, fermented with 50% whole bunches before spending a year in a combination of older foudre and amphora. At 13% ABV, this is an elegant, perfumed and deceptively structured expression of Cinsault rather than a heavy or extracted red. Tasting Notes Colour: Bright ruby-red with translucent crimson highlights, reflecting the naturally lighter colour and elegant structure of Cinsault. Nose: Beautifully perfumed and immediately expressive, with strawberry, red cherry, rose petals and violets at the forefront. Subtle dried herbs, spice and granite-derived mineral notes emerge underneath, giving the wine considerably more complexity than its delicate appearance initially suggests. Palate: Light-footed yet remarkably structured. Pure red cherry and strawberry fruit is supported by fresh acidity and fine, gently gripping tannins. Whole-bunch fermentation introduces subtle herbal and spicy complexity, while the old-vine fruit gives the mid-palate surprising depth. Finish: Long, fresh and precise, with lingering red berries, floral perfume, delicate spice and a characteristic granitic freshness.
