IN THE VINEYARDS
The Lighthouse Collection was created to 
entice the palate with all the special qualities 
brought to you by a cool climate wine, while 
being more approachable and accessible 
in its youth. As an ode to the treacherous 
yet extraordinary Cape coast, a lighthouse 
was built at the Benguela Cove winery, 
overlooking the vineyards, Bot River 
lagoon and Atlantic Ocean. 
This rosé champions Shiraz as signature 
grape for this cool terroir and the 
vineyards were managed and farmed 
to preserve freshness and aromatics for 
the making of rosé.

Slope: North and Western Slopes
Soil: Iron rich laterites 
Clones: SH9 & SH12
Production: 22600 bottles

CHARACTER
Peach pink in colour, this delicious medley of 
fruit, florals, and candied aromas opens doors to 
enjoy this wine as an aperitif or to complement 
an array of colourful dishes. It is appreciated for 
expressions of pomegranate, boiled sweets, and 
red apple, tailed by notes of strawberries and 
watermelon. And yes, the creamy palate is as 
mouth-watering as it sounds. 

PERSONALITY
While fostering the essence of Provence-style 
rosé’s that are known for balance and class, it also 
captures that quintessential cool-climate elegance 
and freshness. Shiraz adds fullness and plush 
red fruit, the early harvesting of the grapes adds 
tension, floral and stone fruit notes and frames the 
wine with a distinctive acidity. 

IN THE CELLAR
All grapes are handpicked and whole bunch 
pressed to keep colour and tannin extraction to 
a minimum. Ensuring further quality, only freerun juice was cold fermented with selected yeast strains. Shiraz grapes for rosé production are 
picked earlier for the freshness to come forward. 

BEST TO ENJOY
The colour invites al fresco dining, a great start to 
the evening as the sun sets.
Cellaring potential: Enjoy now or within two years
Serving temperature: 8 - 10°C

"The versatility of this wine 
is the secret behind its following 
and success worldwide."
 Cellar Master, Johann Fourie
