The Benguela Cove Lighthouse Collection Moody Lagoon is a red wine cuvée dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from South Africa's "cool climate" Walker Bay region. From the glass arise beguiling aromas of delicious spices, fragrant violets, ripe blueberries and a fine hint of marzipan. These aromas, already absorbed by the nose, caress even the most well-balanced palate and ensure absolute pleasure, which ends in a smooth, soft finish.

The hand-picked grapes were vinified separately by grape variety and fermented in stainless steel tanks for six days using selected yeasts. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine was sent to the press and matured for 18 months in French barriques, 25% of which were new wood. Once the ageing process was completed, the different grape varieties were blended to create this soft blend and bottled.
