Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate’s Triumph at the 2024 Veritas Wine Awards 

Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate’s Triumph at the 2024 Veritas Wine Awards was certainly a moment worth celebrating! We are thrilled to share the exciting news from the recent Veritas Wine Awards! Benguela Cove Wine Estate has once again proven itself as a leader in the South African wine industry, adding to our growing collection of accolades. 

This year, we were proud to win Gold Medals for our 2020 Vinography Cabernet Sauvignon and 2021 Estate Syrah, both of which showcase the unique terroir of our estate and the dedication of our talented winemaking team. The Cabernet Sauvignon, what really sets this wine apart is its bold physique, which is expertly balanced by neat tannins that provide structure without being overpowering, while the Estate Syrah is a true masterpiece, crafted with precision and passion, and it's sure to delight even the most discerning wine lover. 

The highlight of our awards haul was undoubtedly the Double Gold Medal awarded to our 2021 Lighthouse Moody Lagoon. This exceptional wine is a testament to our commitment to crafting high-quality, terroir-driven wines that reflect the beauty of our coastal location. The Lighthouse Moody Lagoon combines elegance with boldness, making it a standout in our collection and a must-try for any wine enthusiast. A quote by our cellar master, Johann Fourie “The spectacle that is the lagoon, can be enjoyed in all its moods while sipping on this wine. It calls for long table dinners with friends, offering the perfect balance between fruit and structure”.  

These accolades not only celebrate our hard work and dedication but also affirm our position as a premier wine destination in South Africa. We are incredibly grateful to our loyal supporters and the esteemed judges who recognized our wines this year. 

As we look ahead, we remain committed to innovation and excellence in winemaking.
