The Soul of the Shoreline:

Not all reds are created equal. This May, we invite you to celebrate the spice, the soul, and the sheer elegance of Syrah.

Our May 2026 wine deal is a curated deep dive into this iconic cultivar. This isn’t just a selection; it’s an invitation to explore a vertical tasting of our Lighthouse Syrah alongside our prestigious Estate label. 100% estate-grown and salt-matured by the Atlantic breeze, these wines represent the pinnacle of cool-climate winemaking.

The Lineup:

• Benguela Cove Syrah: The flagship. Dark, brooding, and beautifully structured.
• Lighthouse Collection Syrah 2021: A refined vintage defined by white pepper and floral notes.
• Lighthouse Collection Syrah 2022: Vibrant, fruit-forward, and exceptionally smooth.

Three Bottles. One Grape. R630.00 (Incl. VAT)
