Savanna Dry Premium Cider

Savanna Dry is a world-renowned premium cider that originated in South Africa. First introduced in 1996, it gained rapid popularity for its distinctively crisp, dry taste and its unique ritual of being served with a wedge of lemon in the neck of the bottle. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in its South African heritage, utilizing apples grown in the fertile Elgin Valley of the Western Cape.

The production occurs primarily in South Africa at large-scale facilities designed to maintain the quality of the fermented apple juice. Over the decades, Savanna has expanded its footprint to become one of the largest cider brands globally, exported to scores of countries across Africa, Europe, and beyond.

Ownership of the brand has evolved through major corporate shifts in the South African liquor industry. Originally launched by Distell Group Limited, the brand joined the portfolio of Heineken N.V. following Heineken's multi-billion dollar acquisition of Distell's cider and wine business (forming Heineken Beverages). Today, Heineken, a Dutch multinational brewing giant, serves as the ultimate owner, managing the brand's international distribution and marketing from its headquarters in Amsterdam.
