About This Wine


Ten Year Tree

Sweet Style Sauvignon Blanc

Our Ten Year Tree Sauvignon Blanc symbolizes the bright and delicious future of South African wine. This New World style features exotic fruit flavors and lively textures that will thrill your palate and nurture a newfound excitement about this lesser-known region. In the Western Cape, cooling southeasterly winds—known locally as the “Cape Doctor”—once rustled the branches of apple trees found in the region’s old orchards. Today, rows of trellised grapevines have taken the trees’ place lining these sun-soaked shores. A warm climate and cooling oceanic influence create ideal conditions for ripe Sauvignon Blanc grapes packed with flavor. Our local winemaking partners are among South Africa’s oldest family-owned wine estates, whose practices and traditions remain rooted in this country’s rich history. With this bottle, we invite you to experience this heritage firsthand and share your discovery with family and friends. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Western Cape

Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
