Meet the Cape
Wine's oldest new world.
South Africa has been making wine since 1659. Rooted in centuries of heritage yet driven by innovation and freedom of expression, the Cape has become one of the world's most exciting wine movements and is just waking up.
Among the most geologically diverse wine regions on earth, the Western Cape produces wines of remarkable character, freshness, and sense of place through a new generation of visionary producers. Old World craftsmanship with New World freedom.

Benguela Cove
Lighthouse Sauvignon Blanc
Variety · Sauvignon BlancRegion · Walker BayCertified · Sustainable, Women-Led, Vegan
A visual evolution of a series you already know. Shaped by the Sea, Benguela Cove sits between the Atlantic and the Bot River Lagoon, its lighthouse looking out over some of the world's lowest-lying vineyards - the source of the freshness, salinity and minerality in every bottle. The new labels carry that sense of place: windswept, ocean-lit, unmistakably Walker Bay.
