Gold at the Old Mutual trophy awards
The Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show is South Africa’s premier wine competition that recognises the top local wines and winemakers, and honours excellence in the wine industry. It is widely regarded as the country’s most credible wine show, largely due to the quality of its judging process. The tasting panels – comprising leading South African and international wine judges – subject wines to the most rigorous scrutiny.

Double Gold at the Michelangelo awards

This competition is unique in South Africa, in that all judges would be from abroad, with one South African judge on the panel only. With this international competition the organisers aim to annually identify South African wines which will fare well in international markets, hence the appointment of an international panel to select the cream from the crop.
