Lighthouse Collection Syrah, 100% estate produced Wine of Origin Walker Bay

“This Syrah perfectly reflects the Benguela Cove terroir in a glass. A gentle approach in the cellar helped to encapsulate our unique location at the southern tip of Africa.” - Cellar Master, Johann Fourie

Top Walker Bay Syrah

 

Albeit upfront and evocative, the wine was executed with restraint for a balanced result.  

Young yet forthcoming, it is evident the winemaker followed a hands-off approach not to let the oak overpower the honest essence of this wine.

About the Wine of the Month,

Benguela Cove’s Lighthouse Collection Syrah

True to the varietal, one is lured closer with delicious dark fruit, a rich perfume and a savoury gloss with hints of pepper. Juicy ripe tannins add structure with a youthful freshness to perch the bold fruit. The fruit follows through beautifully with a salty finish that lingers on the palate. 

The Lighthouse Collection range of wines are perfect for earlier release and enjoyment. Created to celebrate slopes that deliver wines with vivid fruit expression, lower acidity and softer tannins. 

Benguela Cove has erected its own lighthouse – the beacon that historically guided ships to safety around the Cape of Storms – an ode to this marginal climate close to the ocean. Stormy winds, once a threat to ships end route to the Cape, now cool the vines anchored in the terroir. Dedicated to the craft of allowing each wine to tell its own story, only estate-grown grapes are used to encapsulate this quintessential cool climate.
