Benguela Cove Wins National Recognition at 2023 SA Terroir Awards
Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate celebrates a double victory at the prestigious 2023 Terroir Wine Awards in South Africa. The estate was named the National Winner in two wine categories, Semillon and Noble Late Harvest, for its Benguela Cove Catalina Semillon 2020 and Benguela Cove Noble Late Harvest 2020 vintages.
Established in 2004, the Terroir Wine Awards focus on wines that authentically express their origin. This annual competition spotlights terroir and acknowledges wines that best showcase the natural environment where the grapes are grown. Only wines certified as Wine of Origin (WO) from a Single Vineyard, Estate, Ward, or District are eligible for entry.
Benguela Cove exclusively produces Noble Late Harvest in select years when ideal conditions during the ripening season maximize the occurrence of botrytis cinerea, or Noble rot. According to winemaker Johann Fourie, "The Terroir Awards highlight single-origin wines, aligning perfectly with Benguela Cove's 100% estate-grown philosophy. These awards underscore our commitment to crafting site-specific wines that showcase our terroir."
Benguela Cove's previous National Winners at the Terroir Awards include:
Catalina Semillon 2018 (2020)
Cap Classique 2017 (2021)
Estate Malbec 2019 (2021)
