About

Proudly boasting some of the most sought-after terroirs in the Western Cape overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate has unique and beautiful stories to tell. Brought to life on the shores of the Bot River Lagoon, cool maritime winds caress the vines, resulting in a cooler median daytime temperature. This allows for slow ripening, preserving the gentle characteristics of these cool-climate wines. Proudly carrying the stamp of wine of origin Walker Bay, all wines are crafted with minimal intervention.
