Crisp and vibrant, this Elgin Sauvignon Blanc brings forward aromas of pome fruit and citrus with a touch of flintiness from its unique terroir, adding a mineral depth to the finish. The palate is fresh and pure, featuring notes of pear, green apple, and a hint of green herbs that provide a well-rounded, refreshing experience.
Perfectly paired with a seafood platter, goat cheese salad, or grilled asparagus, this wine complements light, flavorful dishes beautifully.

All the grapes for Anni Sauvignon Blanc are from our farm in Elgin, Casey’s Ridge. Nestled amidst rolling hills and cool, mist-kissed vineyards, Elgin is a picturesque wine-producing area in South Africa renowned for its unique cool climate, resulting in wines of exceptional elegance and vibrancy.
Our goal with the Vrede en Lust Anni Sauvignon Blanc is to create a fresh and elegant style that shows the cool climate surroundings. This is done by harvesting the grapes at different times during the growing season.
The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness and the free run juice is fermented with different yeast strains in stainless steel tanks. The wine spent 4 months on the lees and the result is a unique cool climate expression of Sauvignon Blanc with an excellent nose and palate.
Winemaker: Karlin Ne, Duan Engelbrecht

Vrede en Lust was founded in 1688 by a Flemish Merchant called Jacques de Savoye. The Governor of the Cape allocated this farm to De Savoye, who fled Europe with his wife, Marie-Madeleine le Clerq, due to religious persecution.
After 70 days at sea, they arrived in Table Bay on 26 April 1688 on the 160ft Oosterland. The scene shifts to the Drakenstein, sparsely populated with only 23 Dutch freeburgers having settled there before. The valley is majestically beautiful, though quite rugged, with dense forests, game, lion and leopard, and the only human inhabitants, some nomadic Khoi. The pioneers lived in simple clay and reed homes.
This is where De Savoye became the owner of a magnificent piece of land against the foothills of the Napoleonsberg (today known as the Simonsberg)
He called his farm Vrede en Lust (Peace and Delight/Eagerness), nurturing visions of a rural paradise where he could spend his last days. He immediately started improving the 55 Ha of land that starts at the Bergrivier valley floor and runs up the eastern foothills of the majestic Simonsberg Mountain.
