An icon of the coast.

The Whalehaven Coastal Sauvignon Blanc is a vintage worth lingering over - crisp, refined and alive with mineral freshness.

Think green apple and grapefruit zest, delicate tropical fruit, a touch of salinity and that distinctive flinty minerality that gives the wine its almost glacial freshness.
Made for every table. Every occasion. And, quite possibly, another glass.

Whalehaven Sauvignon Blanc. Coastal by nature. Iconic by character.

If you love the coast, you’ll love Whalehaven.

Born from a deep connection to the sea and the cool-climate landscapes of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Whalehaven is more than a wine. It’s a coastal state of mind - fresh, refined, effortless and made for the way we like to live.

Whalehaven. Live by the coast.

A taste of the coast, poured at one of Cape Town’s most iconic tables. ✨

Whalehaven Terroir Chardonnay captures the cool-climate character of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley - elegant, mineral and beautifully restrained, with bright citrus, subtle salinity and a freshness that keeps you coming back for another sip.

Now pouring at The Pot Luck Club, known for its open-plan kitchen, bold global flavours and signature small-plate sharing style, it’s the kind of Cape Town setting where good food, good wine and good company naturally come together.

So take your seat, order a few plates for the table, and let Whalehaven Terroir Chardonnay be part of the experience.

Cape Town tastes better by the glass. ✨

A Pinotage with a sense of place. A vintage that brings the Cape a little closer. 🍷

Whalehaven - A Life Well Savoured.

At Whalehaven, wine is more than what’s in the glass. It is where the day takes you, who you share it with, and the moments worth lingering over.

From long lunches beneath the Cape sun to evenings that stretch well past sunset, our wines are made to become part of the occasion - effortless, elegant and distinctly South African.

Rooted in the vineyards of the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Whalehaven brings together place, craft and a contemporary sense of living well. ☀✨

Good wine. Beautiful places. Time well spent.

The Whalehaven Seascape Reserve Chardonnay 2022 is a definitive expression of cool-climate Chardonnay from the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.

On the nose, sun-kissed orange, delicate freesia and lime cordial unfold with remarkable poise. The palate reveals layers of fresh whipped lemon curd, acacia honey and freshly cut hay, carried by a fine mineral backbone and an enduring sense of freshness.

The 2022 vintage is a study in finesse, balance and depth, with a long, lingering finish that leaves an impression well beyond the final sip.

A Reserve wine in every sense — selected barrel by selected barrel, and elevated by time.

Introducing the latest vintage of our Whalehaven Mineral Stone Sauvignon Blanc.

Our 2026 Mineral Stone Sauvignon Blanc is a small-batch expression of the cool-climate Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, bringing together vibrant tropical fruit, saline freshness and distinctive mineral character - a true taste of place.

Expect intense passionfruit and yellow Cape gooseberry, shaped by berries exposed to the late-afternoon sun, alongside flinty aromas and subtle hints of bell pepper from the shadier vineyard rows. A beautiful, expressive Sauvignon Blanc - and a perfect addition to any by-the-glass offering.
