Hey folks!
As promised in our New Year post, we have a strong line up of New Producers to introduce to you this year. We remain focused on bringing you the best of South African wines, and we’re kicking off this effort by presenting to you… Cape Point Vineyards, a standout winery known for its exceptional Sauvignon Blanc that embodies the essence of its coastal origins.
Introducing Cape Point Vineyards
This marks a significant milestone in expanding our Sauvignon Blanc collection as our Sauvignon Blanc collection previously consisted of only 100% Sauvignon Blancs and from just one Producer, Fryer’s Cove (albeit also a very strong and unique Producer!). We’re particularly excited to introduce you to two exceptional wines from their portfolio—the Cape Point Vineyards Noordhoek 2022 and Isliedh 2023. These wines bring a touch of the Old World to the New World with their unique style and exceptional craftsmanship.
If you’re a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, an adventurer in New World wines, or a seafood lover eager to discover new pairings, this is your chance to sip on something extraordinary.
What Makes Cape Point Vineyards Special?
Cape Point Vineyards is located in Noordhoek, a scenic coastal town near Cape Town, this winery is uniquely nestled between shimmering coastal waters and dramatic mountain slopes. It’s one of the only vineyards located on South Africa’s southernmost coastline. It is about 2km from the Atlantic ocean, creating a microclimate which balances the warm South African sun and the cold Atlantic wind. When combined with the ancient mountain soils you have a unique terroir with a late growing season which are ideal conditions for cultivating complex Sauvignon Blanc
The result? Wines that beautifully balance tropical fruit notes with a refreshing minerality, a rare combination increasingly sought after by wine connoisseurs worldwide.
Cape Point Vineyards has become a pioneer in crafting exceptional Sauvignon Blanc blends with a touch of Semillon, a French style Bordeaux Blanc—drawing inspiration from the French tradition while incorporating the vibrancy of South African winemaking. With accolades from critics and wine lovers alike, Cape Point Vineyards is internationally recognized for its elegant and expressive wines.
