A panel of 25 wine enthusiasts, bloggers, winemakers and sommeliers participated in the blind tasting of 14 different wines in search of South Africa's best boxed wine. The winning white wine, Drosty-Hof Sauvignon Blanc 2010, in the new value-for-money 3-litre slimpack, scored the best out of all the boxed wines. The other Drostdy-Hof wine tasted by the panel, the Cabernet Sauvignon, took second place in the red wine category. Drostdy-Hof Sauvignon Blanc 2010 is a vibrant and fruity wine brimming with aromas of gooseberries, litchis and freshly cut grass. This refreshing summer wine is delicious with fish and chicken dishes. Drostdy-Hof Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 is a medium to full-bodied wine that teems with blackcurrants and prunes on the nose and is rich and mouth filling with fruity, plummy flavours. It is an ideal companion for pasta, game and veal. Drostdy-Hof recently extended their Winemakers Collection with the release of their four most popular cultivar wines, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, in the new, convenient 3-lire slimpacks. Ideal for everyday enjoyment at a pocket friendly price, these 3-litre wines give you the equivalent of four bottles for the price of three! Besides its amazing value, the new Drostdy-Hof 3-litre slimpack is so versatile you should never be without it. Ideal for outdoor entertaining and summer picnics, they are unbelievably fridge friendly. The slimpack fits easily into your fridge door, it cools quickly and stays cooler for longer and because no air gets in, it keeps perfectly after you have poured your first glass. Bold and confident with upfront fruitiness and inviting flavours, Drostdy-Hof is pure generosity in a handy slimpack. The white wines in the slimpack sell for around R76 whilst the reds will cost about R84 in leading supermarkets.
