One District, Four Categories and Four Awards Won at SA Terroir Wine Award

There is one word that perfectly describes how the Waverley Hills team feel at this moment – Grateful. Novare SA Terroir Wine Award is a South-African competition founded by Marius Labuschagne and was created to discover the wines made in the various wine-growing areas that best reflect the terroir in which they were produced. All wines must be certified Wine of Origin from a specific single vineyard, estate, ward or small district not divided into wards. Tulbagh is one of the various districts in SA and we are so proud to say that our wines won all four categories in our district.
This comes after many other awards already achieved by Waverley Hills so far this year. CW Reserve Shiraz 2015

Winemaker, Johan Delport, never fails to prove why he is known as the Godfather of Grenache in SA. He was the first in our diverse country to produce a 100% Grenache, and this year Waverley Hills released it’s very first true French-style Rosé. Even though it’s the baby on the wine list, this dry Rosé made its mark by receiving a gold award before even being labelled. The team is looking forward to the rest of this year as we have been very fortunate and grateful thus far. It shows that hard work, combined with passion and team work does indeed make a difference in a product.
