Cape Point Vineyards – Sauvignon Blanc from the Atlantic coast

Maritime influence and mineral character define the wines

Cape Point Vineyards is located on the Cape Peninsula, just above the Atlantic Ocean, and is recognised as one of South Africa’s most distinctive cool-climate producers. The estate is best known for its mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc shaped by strong maritime influence.

The wines show a precise aromatic profile with citrus, grapefruit and fresh herbal notes, supported by a pronounced mineral backbone. They combine freshness, tension and complexity in a focused style.

Cool ocean breezes, constant winds and moderate temperatures allow for slow ripening, resulting in wines with clarity, vibrant acidity and a refined coastal character.
