Sir Lambert Wines, Lamberts Bay 

Admiral Sir Robert Lambert, commander of the Cape Town Naval Station in the early 1820’s, ventured up to the Cape West Coast in 1926 to map out the furthest reaches of this rugged coastline. The town of Lambert’s Bay was later named to honour this adventurous spirit.

Set three kilometres from the sea at Lambert's Bay, the 10-hectare Sir Lambert vineyard produces excellent Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz grapes. The character of the wine is crafted by the unique location of the vineyards, right at the spot where the sea breeze blowing in from the icy-cold Atlantic Ocean meets the dry heat of the land.

The Sir Lambert Sauvignon Blanc - the first to be certified as being made from grapes of this ward - has achieved critical acclaim, including a Gold Medal at its debut at the Michelangelo International Wine Awards.

The wine is a true product of Lambert's Bay. Local people pick the grapes by hand early morning to ensure that the unique cool-climate characteristics are captured and retained.
