Kookfontein’s
Sauvignon Blanc is grown on the northern
bank of the Jackals Creek, near the rustic
seaside town of Lamberts Bay. The small
boutique vineyard overlooks the nutrient
rich kelp coast of the Atlantic Ocean, five
kilometres to the west. During the summer
months a cool, crisp sea breeze influences
the ripening process of our grapes, ensuring
the prefect growing conditions for a fine
palatable white wine.
The cool climate of our region is integral
to the quality of our wine. Climate is
considered the principal factor in the
potential style and quality of wine that a
region can produce and cool to intermediate
temperature climates have consistently
produced the finest table wines in the
world.
In 2012
Kookfontein won the South African Gold Medal
for Best Young Wine in the Olifants River
Region. Our wine continues to improve with
every harvest.
Please enjoy our
wine responsibly.
