Wine Awards... Our Groote Post Sauvignon Blanc 2012 yet again made its mark as one of the very best examples of this varietal in the country by winning a FNB Top 10 award for the 4th time out of the 6 years that this contest has been held. It is very rewarding to get recognition in categories were very few do, namely Merlot and Pinot Noir. Our 2011 Merlot received a Diamond Award from the Winemakers Choice Awards. The judges panel here is made up only by winemakers. Our 2009 Reserve Pinot Noir was the only Pinot Noir to get a gold medal at the Veritas Wine Awards. The Michelangelo International Wine Awards honoured our 2012 Sauvignon Blanc and our 2011 Shiraz with gold medals.
