“We are so proud of this achievement” says Kayla Hendricks, Senior Brand Manager at Savanna. “South Africans have a real knack of making No. 1s, we’ve enjoyed seeing a trend of this so much lately and now, another local No.1 to celebrate, and our very own too! So, here’s to you, the fans of Savivi. Thanks for making Savanna your No. 1Cider, and the world’s too.”
Fueled by its signature wit and dry charm, and a reputation for clever marketing and tongue-in-cheek humour, Savanna has captured the hearts of many. The cider brand has always stood out in a competitive market, with its iconic ‘It's Dry, But You Can Drink It’ pay off line to the unmistakable imagery of a lemon wedge tucked perfectly into every bottle.
Savanna Cider remains committed to pushing boundaries and creating memorable experiences for cider enthusiasts across the globe.
