Benguela Cove – Catalina Semillon 2021, Limited Edition (1 x 750ml)
The Benguela Cove Catalina Semillon is made from a single vineyard and celebrates exceptional quality while honouring the history of the land on which Benguela Cove is built.
The wine is named after the long-lived Flying Boat that was on lease to the RAF (Royal Airforce) and operated from the Bot River Lagoon during the Second World War. The Catalina was used for coastal patrols and aerial support of the Allied convoys carrying supplies between Europe, Africa and the East. The Lagoon was set up as an advanced emergency base in February 1943 and remained in full operation until February 1945. When the Allied Forces sailed past the Cape of Storms, up to three Catalinas operated from the Lagoon.
Of the fourteen RAF men stationed at the base, three married South African women and returned to South Africa after the war. As abiding as its namesake, this Semillon has an ethereal quality with incredible ageing potential that evokes a sense of nostalgia. It was made to be remembered.

Damascene Vineyards - 6 bottles of each Moya Meaker Pinot Noir 2021 & Stellenbosch Syrah 2021 (12 x 750ml)
Damascene wines are about telling stories. They’re born to express the way that man and place collaborate to form narrative. Both vineyard and viticulturist play a role in the story. The winemaker plays the role of editor, and each of our wines tells of their own adventure.
