A blend of Touriga Nacional and Syrah, Are We There Yet combines opulent, ripe fruit with soft tannins and complex aromatics, making for a deep, Mediterranean-inspired red.

Duncan Savage was the winemaker at Cape Point Vineyards' for 14 vintages. In 2011, he started his own label on the side. Through his time at Cape Point, Duncan grew to understand maritime vineyards and crafted a reputation for profound and saline whites with great aging potential; this led him to source grapes for his own project, Savage Wines, from similar maritime and high altitude sites. His wines were met with great acclaim and in 2016 he quit his job to turn his attention to his namesake project. At first he created wine by borrowing other people's wineries but today he uses his own winery in Salt River, Cape Town. Duncan is no doubt one of the best winemakers in South Africa. In fact, Tim Atkin (MW) has proclaimed, "Duncan Savage thinks he hasn't hit his full potential yet. Heaven help his rivals when he does.

57% Syrah, 43% Touriga Nacional from Malgas. 10% of the Syrah left as whole bunches. Matured for 10 months in older 500-litre barrels. Red and black berries, fynbos, flowers and pepper on the nose. Great fruit density, bright acidity and crunchy tannins, the finish nicely dry. Still intensely flavourful but showing increasing composure with each passing vintage
