Eagles’ Nest Sauvignon Blanc

In the late 1600s, Eagles’ Nest operated as a commercial farm. For decades it produced export fruit and supplied vegetables to the local market. In the year 2000, tragedy struck when a devastating fire sprawled along the Cape Peninsula mountains, destroying 95% of the estate and wiping out the natural fyn-bos vegetation. In the wake of this event, we faced a critical choice: to rebuild or re-imagine. After much consideration, we chose to shift the focus of our farm to wine making. Along with the planting of vineyards, it was a priority to restore the indigenous flora. We planted 25,000 Silver Tree seeds and thousands of other fyn-bos varieties, carefully selecting species that would thrive in the Constantia mountains. Today, we are home to one of the largest Silver Tree plantations in South Africa.
