Savanna Dry Premium Cider Bottles 6 x 330ml

The Savanna Dry Premium Cider Bottles 6 x 330ml is a clear, refreshing alcoholic beverage produced from the fermented juice of crushed apples grown in the Western Cape. This cider undergoes a unique triple-filtration and double-chilling process to achieve its signature dry flavour profile and 6% alcohol volume. Sourced from the fertile Elgin Valley, it is globally recognised for its high-purity standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why the lemon wedge? The acidity of a fresh lemon wedge tucked into the neck of the bottle balances the residual sugars and enhances the "dry" sensation.
• Is Savanna Dry gluten-free? Yes, because it is fermented from apples rather than grain, Savanna is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
