Light rose 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 watermelon. And yes, the creamy palate is as mouthwatering as it sounds.

All grapes are handpicked and whole bunch pressed to keep colour and tannin extraction to a minimum. Shiraz grapes for rosé production are picked earlier for the freshness to come forward. The grapes were pressed as whole bunches to limit the extraction of colour, the juice undergoes a co-fermentation to prompt the desired layers of aroma. Ensuring further quality, only free-run juice was cold fermented with selected yeast strains.

The Lighthouse Range 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.
