With 65 hectares under vine, this special maritime climate ensures a terroir that produces grapes of consistent and outstanding quality. Which is why they won 5 trophies at the Annual SA National Young Wine Show.
This new kid on the block earned 4 gold medals and 13 silver, leading to them winning 5 trophies for the broader Stellenbosch region that includes Walker Bay, Elim, Elgin, and Constantia. They took home the Boland Bank Trophy for the best red blend (wooded), the P.J. Carinus Trophy for the best Chardonnay, the Allan Bell Trophy for the best Cabernet Sauvignon (wooded), the Denel Trophy for best Merlot (wooded) and finally the Vinfruco Trophy for the best overall red wine.
These awards are a huge accolade for our talented team, led by cellar master Johann Fourie, building a reputation for superb South African wine. – says Benguela Cove Wine Estate owner Penny Streeter OBE.
Cellar Master Johann Fourie congratulated his team: “To do well for the third time around, following the success of our maiden vintage, is a huge feather in our cap. Given our state of the art winery facility and the estate’s amazing fruit source, I always knew the property was capable of producing outstanding wine, and we are very pleased that this has been recognised.”
