Why you'll love it
This wine is a standout in Duncan Savage's portfolio, showcasing his signature light touch and focus on terroir transparency.
Red and black berries, floral perfume and some flinty reduction on the nose. The palate is robust, rich and round with succulent, sweet fruit, soft but sufficient acidity and fine tannins, the finish gently savoury.
Excellent with charcuterie, grilled quail, or slow-roasted pork shoulder. It also pairs beautifully with earthy vegetable dishes, lentil stews. Serve slightly chilled to highlight its vibrant aromatics and silky structure.
Best known in Provence, Languedoc, South Africa
A soft, perfumed red grape from the south of France. Light in colour and tannin, with red cherry and floral notes. A key player in Provence rosé, and old vines in South Africa make lovely, silky reds.
Best known in Southern Rhône, McLaren Vale, Provence
Warm, generous and full of red fruit. Raspberry, strawberry, spice and a soft, ripe texture. The heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and many rosés; in Spain the same grape is called Garnacha.
Best known in Northern Rhône, Washington State
A dark, spicy red grape. Blackberry, black pepper, smoked meat and violets, with firm structure. Elegant and savoury in the Northern Rhône, in places like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; in Australia the same grape goes by Shiraz.
South Africa
South Africa's wine heartland, encompassing everything from the cool coastal valleys to the warmer inland sites. Extraordinarily diverse in climate and soil: a single appellation that contains multitudes — from delicate Elgin Pinot to muscular Swartland reds.
Western Cape, South Africa
Duncan Savage makes wine in Cape Town's Salt River district, with a minimal intervention approach. Love Wine stocks a long list, from Sauvignon Blanc and white blends to Syrah and reds. Fruit comes from Stellenbosch, Overberg, Paarl and beyond.
More from Savage Wines →Duncan Savage is a very talented winemaker who's reputation was made at Cape Point where he has been making very serious wines for years. Thief In The Night is a blend of Grenache with Syrah and Cinsault, sourced from old vines in Piekenierskloof and surrounding high-altitude sites. The wine is made with minimal intervention—native yeast fermentation, whole bunches, and aging in neutral oak—allowing the purity of fruit and site to shine.
If you like these, you'll love this: If you enjoy lighter, aromatic reds like Cru Beaujolais, Etna Rosso, or Southern Rhône blends with finesse, this wine will speak to you. It's perfect for fans of thoughtful, detail-driven winemaking with a focus on freshness and subtle complexity.
