DaschBosch is proud to announce an exceptional achievement in the Tim Atkin South Africa Special Report 2026, having been named Producer Cellar of the Year for the second time.
The prestigious recognition is a significant endorsement of DaschBosch’s commitment to heritage, craftsmanship and terroir, and celebrates the quality and character of wines produced under the DaschBosch name.
At the heart of this achievement is winemaker Willem (WS) Visagie, whose dedication to expressing the individuality of the vineyards and the distinctive character of each wine has contributed to this remarkable collection of scores.
The 2026 Tim Atkin South Africa Special Report recognised four DaschBosch wines with outstanding ratings:
- DaschBosch Mossiesdrift Steen 2025 - 93 points
- DaschBosch Avon Clairette Blanche 2025 - 93 points
- DaschBosch Gevonden Hanepoot 2023 - 92 points
- DaschBosch Skin Contact 2026 - 90 points
The strong showing across the portfolio demonstrates the diversity and quality that DaschBosch brings to the South African wine landscape, from expressive white varieties to innovative skin-contact winemaking, while remaining rooted in the identity of the estate and its vineyards.
Being named Producer Cellar of the Year by Tim Atkin in the 2026 South Africa Special Report - the second time DaschBosch has earned the title - is a milestone that carries particular weight, because it recognises not a single standout wine but the consistency and quality demonstrated across the entire portfolio. It is an acknowledgement of the vineyards, the hands that tend them and the expertise in the cellar, and of a team committed to wines with a genuine sense of place.
For winemaker Willem (WS) Visagie and the DaschBosch team, the accolade affirms a philosophy that puts the vineyard at the centre of the winemaking process: allowing the fruit, site and variety to speak for themselves, with thoughtful and considered craftsmanship in the cellar. It is both an honour and an encouragement to keep pushing boundaries while remaining firmly connected to the heritage and terroir that define the wines.
