Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate’s twin triumph at the Gold Wine Awards 2023
Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate has achieved a twin triumph at the 2023 Gold Wine Awards in South Africa. Their Lighthouse Collection has clinched the 'Excellent Value' distinction in both the Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc categories for the 2023 vintages.
Discover the story behind our Lighthouse Collection
The Lighthouse Collection was created to entice the palate with all the special qualities brought to you by a cool climate wine while being more approachable and accessible in its youth. As an ode to the treacherous yet extraordinary Cape coast, a lighthouse was built at the Benguela Cove winery, overlooking the vineyards, Bot River lagoon and Atlantic Ocean.
Harvested in the cool of the morning from ocean-facing northern and southern slopes, this resulted in fruit-driven fresh wines.
“This wine is a true ambassador of our climate - elegant and delicious.”
Cellar Master, Johann Fourie

Lighthouse Collection Rosé
While fostering the essence of Provence-style rosé that are known for balance and class, they also capture that quintessential cool-climate elegance and freshness.
The Lighthouse Collection Sauvignon Blanc
Following suit with its predecessors, this is a very popular wine. Bone-dry with a citrus-like acidity, this wine is reminiscent of the Old World while the fruit leaps from the glass to remind you where it is from.
