LEONARDSLEE FAMILY VINEYARDS

The Sister Estate to Benguela Cove 

Leonardslee Family Vineyards in West Sussex, England, is the sister estate to Benguela Cove, bound by both family ties and a shared passion for crafting exceptional wines. Owned by Penny Streeter OBE, who also owns Benguela Cove, the two estates reflect her remarkable journey from South Africa to England. The connection between the two is symbolised by the swallow on the Leonardslee wine labels, which represents the migration between the two countries—just as swallows follow their flight lines between South Africa and England. The Vineyards focuses on traditional method sparkling wines, using grapes grown on its unique cool-climate vineyards. Penny’s vision and the skill of her winemaking team ensure that each bottle embodies the finest characteristics of this English terroir, much like the award-winning wines of Benguela Cove.

Together, Benguela Cove and Leonardslee Family Vineyards offer a transcontinental wine experience that showcases the excellence of both South African and English wine, linked by family heritage and the flight of the swallow.
