Fryers Cove

Fryer’s Cove is a distinctive South African wine estate located in the remote Bamboes Bay ward on the Cape West Coast, just 500 meters from the Atlantic Ocean. Founded in 1999 on the Laubscher family farm near Doringbaai, the brand has earned acclaim for producing terroir-driven wines shaped by the region’s extreme maritime climate and mineral-rich soils. Often described as one of the world’s most ocean-influenced vineyards, Fryer’s Cove harnesses the cool sea mists and salty air to craft Sauvignon Blancs of piercing freshness and minerality. The winery itself is uniquely housed in a repurposed crayfish factory perched above the ocean, where icy seawater is pumped in to cool fermentation tanks. Now part of the DGB portfolio, Fryer’s Cove continues to champion low-intervention winemaking and community empowerment, offering wines that are truly “forged of the earth, tempered by the sea.
