Benguela Cove Brut Shines with Gold Medal at Amorim Cap Classique Challenge
Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate has secured another gold medal for its Joie de Vivre 2019 Brut Méthode Cap Classique at the esteemed Amorim Cap Classique Challenge. This marks the third consecutive gold win since the debut of Benguela Cove's Cap Classique in 2020, firmly establishing its reputation for exceptional quality and consistency.
Situated in the Walker Bay wine region, Benguela Cove has swiftly become renowned for its world-class Cap Classique. Crafted by Winemaker Michelle Waldeck and the Hermanus wine farm team, the Joie de Vivre is created using 100% estate grapes grown in the unique terroir near the Atlantic Ocean. This distinctive location nurtures the grapes, imparting the wine with a unique coastal character.
Michelle Waldeck describes it as "a celebration of the balance between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from a cooler climate, a classic Méthode Cap Classique that fulfills the promise of a fresh yet intricate wine. Made in a delicate style, it showcases a perfect balance between primary fruit and the complexity gained from maturation."
