As the wind blows.
From Touriga Nacional, this is a new wine from Duncan Savage, the grapes largely sourced from David Trafford’s Malgas project.
On the nose, dark fruit, earth, spice plus a vague floral note in the background. Relatively rich on the palate with moderate acidity and not too tannic on the finish. Lots of hipster appeal. Approximate retail price: R245 a bottle.
Editor’s rating: 90/100.
