Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate secures dual victories at the 2023 Gold Wine Awards as their Lighthouse Collection earns the 'Excellent Value' distinction in both Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc categories for the 2023 vintages.
Uncover the narrative behind our Lighthouse Collection.
Crafted to captivate the palate with the distinctive characteristics of a cool-climate wine, this collection is designed to be approachable and accessible even in its youthful stages. Paying homage to the perilous yet remarkable Cape coast, a lighthouse stands proudly at the Benguela Cove winery, commanding views of the vineyards, Bot River lagoon, and the vast Atlantic Ocean.
Gathered in the brisk morning hours from the northern and southern slopes that face the ocean, the harvest yields refreshingly fruit-driven wines.
“This wine is a true ambassador of our climate - elegant and delicious.”
Cellar Master, Johann Fourie
