Savanna Cider is a range of South African cider introduced by the Distell Group Limited in May 1996. Savanna Dry is sold in over 60 countries[1], and it is South Africa’s leading cider export and the largest cider brand in the world by volume.[2] Savanna Cider is produced from crushed apples grown in the Elgin Valley of the Western Cape and additional imports as required. The majority of the production of the cider takes place in the KHS plant in Springs,_South_Africa[3]. The overall production process is typically two weeks in length and during this period; the product is run through a micro-filtration process where it is triple filtered and double chilled.[citation needed] Savanna Cider is available in four main variants: Savanna Dry, Savanna Light, Savanna Alc Free and Savanna Angry Lemon.
