This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from Stellenbosch and Elgin, dazzles with its attractive green tinge in the glass. The nose bursts with intense aromas of gooseberry, ripe passion fruit, and zesty lime.
On the palate, lively flavors of green melon and lemon create a refreshing and well-balanced experience, leading to a crisp and lingering finish. Perfect for pairing with fresh seafood, summer salads, or light goat cheese dishes, this wine embodies the lively character of its coastal terroir.

Growing conditions during the 2022 season were almost hassle-free. The cold and wet winter season was followed by a cool spring and early summer that led to excellent flavor development in the grapes.
Grapes were harvested between 19° and 23° Balling to ensure fresh acidity and riper flavors in the wine. Fermentation was at 14° Celsius with further time on the lees to add to complexity and texture
The Story of The Pirate Of Cocoa Hill: In a time of seafaring and spice, pirates played in Table Bay. Among them was Long Ben – as fierce as he was tall, he looted and pillaged and scavenged from all. Ben fast became known for being up to no good, and so fled from the seas and gave up his loot. He planted some vines, as was the way, and peered out towards the ocean almost every day. Long Ben would have gazed longingly at the vista of Table Bay, from where our vines grow today, on Cocoa Hill.
