Absa Vintage Pinotage Excellence Awards

We are very pleased to announce that we’ve picked up another accolade. Our 2013 Private Cellar Pinotage has been included in the Absa Vintage Pinotage Excellence Awards, a ground-breaking initiative that celebrates the artistry and outstanding craftsmanship of South African winemakers.
In its first year with a fresh approach, the awards have evolved from the Absa Top 10 Pinotage awards to focus on judging Vintage wines separately. This innovative decision was made in collaboration with the esteemed Institute of Cape Wine Masters, ensuring the utmost integrity and expertise in the evaluation process.
The Absa Vintage Pinotage Excellence Awards have attracted a panel of distinguished judges renowned for their discerning palates and extensive knowledge of the wine industry. The esteemed judging panel includes Bennie Howard, Anton Swarts, Christine Rudman, Colin Frith, and Sandy Harper, each bringing their expertise and passion to the evaluation process. Their collective experience and deep understanding of the nuances of Pinotage have ensured a rigorous and fair assessment of the nominees.
To be featured in the Top 10 out of 34 outstanding vintage wine entries is an honour and we’ll be celebrating with a toast to this amazing and unique grape we work with. Congrats to all of the winners. Cheers
