Gold Wine Awards 2023

Benguela Cove's Double Success at 2023 Gold Wine Awards

Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate has achieved a remarkable feat at the 2023 Gold Wine Awards in South Africa. Their Lighthouse Collection for the 2023 vintages secured the 'Excellent Value' distinction in both the Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc categories.

The Lighthouse Collection was crafted to offer the special qualities of cool-climate wines in a more approachable and youthful manner. In homage to the captivating yet perilous Cape coast, a lighthouse was erected at the Benguela Cove winery, overlooking the vineyards, Bot River lagoon, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Harvested from ocean-facing slopes in the cool morning air, the wines are fruit-driven and fresh.

The Gold Wine Awards is renowned for its distinguished panel of wine experts who rigorously evaluate wines priced at R150 or below, emphasizing the value they offer.

Lighthouse Collection Rosé: These wines embody the essence of Provence-style rosé with balance and class, while retaining cool-climate elegance and freshness.

Lighthouse Collection Sauvignon Blanc: Continuing the tradition, this popular wine is bone-dry with citrus-like acidity, bridging the Old World with the vibrancy of its origin.
