Rijk's takes 8th ABSA Top 10 Pinotage Award

Since its launch in 1997 the Absa Top 10 Pinotage Competition has become South Africa’s leading showcase for the country’s own grape variety. For any cellar to win eight Absa Top 10 Trophies (Rijk's has only released nine vintages) is a monumental achievement. It demonstrates the dedication and commitment of Rijk's and our team to Pinotage, and winemaker Pierre Wahl's consistently good winemaking and farming practices.
