Wine information

Benguela Cove is situated in the Walker Bay sub-region, just an hour from Cape Town International Airport. Poised on the edge of the Bot River Lagoon, the area is teeming with bird life and natural fauna and flora with the Atlantic Ocean gracing the horizon. The estate, which has 70-hectares of vines, was purchased by entrepreneur Penny Streeter OBE in 2013. The estate has been rewarded for its craftsmanship, led by experienced cellar master Johann Fourie. This elegant rosé has vibrant character and marked with expressions of strawberries, watermelon and nougat, tailed by notes of citrus and pineapple. And yes, it is as mouth-watering as it sounds.

Robin says "A succulent and pretty Côtes de Provence-styled rosé but with the added touch of Sauvignon Blanc, adding an appealing layer of semi-tropical fruits. Nicely done and a little different."
