IN BRIEF

📍 Bamboes Bay · 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Fresh, mineral white wine with a marine character
Aged on lees

Why we like it

Few wines tell the story of the sea as well as this Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyards grow just 500 meters from the Atlantic Ocean, and the cool climate of the West Coast yields a crisp, savory wine of extraordinary elegance, an authentic expression of one of South Africa's most unique terroirs.

Wine profile

On the nose, it releases aromas of citrus, passion fruit, and delicate notes of seaweed. On the palate, it is intense and vibrant, with hints of lime, tropical fruit, and a long finish characterized by a marked saline minerality, typical of Bamboes Bay.

The Fryer's Cove Signature

Fryer's Cove is one of the very few wineries located on South Africa's remote West Coast. The production philosophy is based on minimal intervention in the cellar to allow the oceanic climate and the terroir of Bamboes Bay to express themselves with maximum authenticity.
