Savage Wines Girl Next Door 2024 is a beautiful, light ruby-red colour. The nose offers haunting aromatics of violets, black pepper, and fynbos. Notes of cured meat and a subtle salinity add complexity. The palate is extraordinarily elegant and fine-boned. Silky, soft, powdery tannins define the light-touch winemaking. Flavours of blackberry, plum, and wild strawberry are concentrated yet precise. A cool, savory, and remarkably long finish is the signature of this Syrah. This elegant, savory Syrah pairs beautifully with venison, herb-roasted lamb, or grilled duck. Its peppery notes complement hard, mature cheeses.
