Benguela Cove Wines Celebrates National Recognition at the 2023 SA Terroir Awards

Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate is celebrating a double victory at the prestigious 2023 Terroir Wine Awards in South Africa. The estate has been named the National Winner in two wine classes, Semillon and Noble Late Harvest, for its Benguela Cove Catalina Semillon 2020 and Benguela Cove Noble Late Harvest 2020 vintages. 

The Terroir Wine Awards, established in 2004, is a celebration of South African wines that authentically express their origin. The annual competition focuses on terroir and recognises wines that best showcase the natural environment in which the grapes are produced. The judges conduct blind tastings, and only products certified as Wine of Origin (WO) from a Single Vineyard, Estate, Ward, or District are eligible for entry. 

Additionally, our Noble Late Harvest also won at the SA Terroir Awards. This year, both our wines were recognised, showing our consistent quality.
