The Black Oystercatcher is situated close to Africa’s southernmost tip. So we’re a cool-climate wine area – with cool winds off the sea crafting our small, fruit-flavoured berries.

What’s more, our vineyards grow on four unique soil types – each resulting in its own flavour profile in the grapes.

So our Black Oystercatcher wines are unique, formed by our special terroir.

The result? We produce five cool-climate wines:

Black Oystercatcher Sauvignon Blanc

Black Oystercatcher White Pearl

Black Oystercatcher Rosé

Black Oystercatcher Cabernet Merlot

Black Oystercatcher Triton

We also produce a range of reserve wines: the Blanc Fumé, the Noble Late, Wild Ferment and the Méthode Cap Classique.

Our reserve range wines are only available from the Black Oystercatcher Wine Farm.

In 2017, we tried something pretty unique:
To unlock the Secrets of Sauvignon in our special region.

Dirk made three different Sauvignon blancs off our three most prominent marginal soils.
Now the wines have been bottled, and are ready.

We’ve created the:

– Black Oystercatcher Broken Shale Sauvignon Blanc

– Black Oystercatcher Iron Ferricrete Sauvignon Blanc

– Black Oystercatcher Quartzite Sauvignon Blanc
