Cape Point

Cape Point is a small but special wine region that is part of South Africa’s Coastal Region. It is located south of Cape Town, on the Cape Peninsula, and is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The exceptional geographical location, the cooler climate and the direct influence of the sea create ideal conditions for elegant and mineral white wines.

The region is known above all for its excellent Sauvignon Blancs, which are characterized by freshness, complexity and a characteristic salty note. Semillon and Chardonnay are also vinified here at a high level. The vineyards benefit from the cool Benguela current and constant ocean winds, which ensure a long ripening period for the grapes – a decisive factor for the aromatic depth of the wines.

Despite its small size, Cape Point quickly gained an international reputation. Pioneering work was carried out by Cape Point Vineyards, which set standards with its precisely crafted white wines and helped the region gain worldwide recognition.

Cape Point Vineyards

Cape Point Vineyards was founded in 1996 by businessman Sybrand van der Spuy. The approximately 22-hectare vineyard is located in Noordhoek in the Cape Town region. Situated directly on the cool Atlantic Ocean, the vines benefit from sufficient moisture and cool westerly winds.

It is the very old, mostly clayey granite soils of Table Mountain that give these wines such minerality and complexity, says winemaker Rinadri Visser. These conditions are particularly suitable for Sauvignon Blanc. But Sémillon, which gives the wines a little more depth and palate fullness, also thrives very well here. Comparatively very small harvests give the wines even more character. The fantastic and almost picturesque location is best viewed from the restaurant. The high-quality wines from this small, friendly winery are a great addition to our range.
