About
Set at the entrance to the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Whalehaven is the third oldest wine producer in this revered coastal area. The winery is known for its collectable, hand-crafted wines including its exceptional Merlot, Cabernet Franc as well as terroir-specific, limited releases of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This boutique winery was named after the protective bay that is the sight of whales in the cool Cape winter months and is the birthplace of wines of exceptional quality.
Product Features
- The grapes were crushed separately and fermented in stainless steel tanks.
- To ensure a fine and smooth wine, malolactic fermentation took place in tanks on French and American oak staves.
- Further maturation took place in 3rd and 4th fill French, Hungarian and American 225L oak barrels for 10 months before the wine was given a light fining and filtered for bottling.
- Deep red in colour with a dark rim.
- Rich black and blueberry notes with a hint of cedar on the nose which evolves into dark fruits and plums on the palate.
- A seductive wine with a rich mid-palate, smooth velvety tannins and a lengthy finish.

We're big believers in retail therapy
The stats we're presenting here are based purely on our staff, who make up a tiny percentage of the general population, but they tell us that 100% of our staff that ordered something online exhibited signs of excitement when that thing was delivered.
We know the saying "Money can't buy happiness", but you don't often see someone crying on a jetski - and not just because all that water splashing around would make it hard to identify the tears in the first place.
Although we do have to ask: if our savings are this good, shouldn't we be calling it discount therapy instead?
