Benguela Cove Lighthouse Sauvignon Blanc

The Lighthouse Collection was created to entice the palate with all the special qualities brought to you by a cool climate wine but meant to be more approachable and accessible in its youth. As an ode to the treacherous yet extraordinary coast, a lighthouse was built overlooking the vineyards, Bot River lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean.

The aroma is explosive of gooseberry and grapefruit with hints of ripe guava, lemon zest and top notes of rose blossoms. The fruit intensity fills your mouth and finishes with a salinity and oyster shell like minerality. Melon, toffee apple and white peach notes persist on the palate. As its predecessor this style of cool climate Sauvignon blanc takes you right to the oceans’ edge where you can smell the salt in the air. Bone-dry with a citrus-like acidity, this wine is reminiscent of the Old World while the fruit leaps from the glass to remind you where it is from. Its vibrant character makes it a great food companion but with plenty of fruit and crisp palate it is also perfect to pour as an aperitif. Cellar potential: enjoy now or within two years.
