WELCOME TO THE SAVAGE SELECTION WEBSITE

This website is a shop window rather than a shopping basket and is designed to give an insight into our style and scope. We hope that our range of wines will whet your appetite and encourage you to contact us for further information and advice. We are here to provide a level of service and information that it would be impossible and unreasonable to expect from a supermarket.

Our approach...

At present we work with around 100 growers in 15 countries

These are typically small family vineyards rather than large factories. We visit them all as frequently as possible

Quality alone is not enough, we also look for originality

Independence is essential to originality and we therefore attach great importance to our own independence and that of our growers

We never buy a wine because it has won a medal somewhere or received a high score from a wine critic, however celebrated. Like good taste, good wine is not measured in numbers

... What they say

'A magnificently eccentric collection... One of Britain’s most fastidious wine merchants'
Jancis Robinson

'His range is about as original as they come. There are no concessions to fashion here, just a collection of wines that he has ferreted our in his four decades in the trade….we were never disappointed with anything we tried. So if you want ‘real’ wine rather than processed grape juice, just put yourself in the hands of a Savage'
