Two Dogs, A Peacock & A Horse Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc pairs excellently with shellfish, vegetarian dishes, and goat's milk cheese.

Grapes are sourced from seven different vineyard sites within the Franschhoek Valley, each contributing unique characteristics to the final blend. ​

The wine undergoes extended lees contact, which imparts a creamy richness to the palate, enhancing its complexity and mouthfeel. ​

Each vineyard is harvested and vinified separately to ensure maximum complexity. All fruit is hand-picked in the early morning and handled reductively to preserve the fruit’s integrity. After destemming, a period of skin contact is allowed according to chemical analysis, phenolic, and flavor ripeness. Three days of cold settling follow a light pressing to clarify the juice. A maximum of 600 liters per ton is recovered at this stage. Each vineyard is inoculated with selected yeast to match its flavor profile. Fermentation lasts for 21–30 days at 13–16°C. ​

Black Elephant Vintners is a South African wine brand known for its playful and unconventional approach to winemaking. Based in Franschhoek, the winery was founded by Kevin Swart, Raymond Ndlovu, and Jacques Wentzel. The name "Black Elephant" is a combination of Swart ("black" in Afrikaans) and Ndlovu (which means "elephant" in Zulu), with Jacques being the vintner.
