Benguela Cove Wine Estate Estate Chardonnay 2023
Walker Bay earned its repertoire for outstanding Chardonnay and these vineyards are no exception. Nudged by the lagoon with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity while maritime winds encourage healthy vines that need minimal intervention.
Benguela Cove Wine Estate Estate Pinot Noir 2023
Walker Bay is synonymous with outstanding Pinot Noir. Nudged by the Benguela Current, with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity, ushering the development of delicate fruit notes, fine tannin structure and a bright acidity. Maritime winds encourage healthy vines that need minimal intervention.
Benguela Cove Wine Estate Vinography Chardonnay 2023
Vinography encapsulates the spirit of our cool climate where the ocean meets ancient soils. It represents a journal kept by both nature and winemakers on the Benguela Cove Wine Estate and highlights the unique characteristics of a single vineyard that became instrumental in shaping the wine. These special parcels were then diarised in a bottle to recall every detail from vineyard to cellar.
Benguela Cove Wine Estate Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Doused with all the privileges of a cool climate, the Walker Bay boasts some of the most sought-after Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. Nudged by the Bot River lagoon with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night. A beneficial diurnal range aid in even ripening and complexity, ushering the development of delicate fruit notes, fine tannin structure and bright acidity. Maritime winds encourage healthy vines that need minimal intervention. .
Benguela Cove Wine Estate Lighthouse Collection Moody Lagoon 2021
The Moody Lagoon Red Blend serves as an ode to the Bot River lagoon adjacent to the winery, showcasing the diversity found on the estate. Nicknamed “Moody” the lagoon is known to be unpredictable, changing in colour and flow direction throughout the day. Reflecting all seasons in one day, the lagoon is instrumental in moderating temperatures, joining forces with cool winds caressing the vines from the Atlantic Ocean.
These accolades highlight our dedication to exceptional winemaking. We are especially proud of our Vinography Chardonnay 2023, Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023 and Lighthouse Collection Moody Lagoon 2021 which earned the prestigious Double Gold medal, showcasing the quality and craftsmanship of our wines.
The Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards continue to celebrate excellence in the industry. We are honoured to be part of this esteemed tradition and invite you to explore our award-winning wines.
