Gun Bay is a South African wine brand conceived by Andrew Ing in collaboration with notable local winemakers. Dating back to 1806, the Noon GUN (an 18-pounder smoothbore muzzleloader cannon on Signal Hill) is fired daily at midday over Table BAY.
This centuries-old tradition began when sailing ships sought shelter in Table Bay from the wild storms that battered the coastline. The ships needed an accurate timepiece to calculate longitude before once more embarking on their perilous journeys – thus was born the Noon Gun ritual.
