The aim of this prestigious annual competition is to identify ten Pinotage wines which will serve as benchmark for the development of distinctive South African Pinotage and illustrate the uniqueness of Pinotage in the international wine world. The winners of this year’s competition will be announced on 28 August.
The charming
story behind the Survivor wine range is that of an Nguni cow who accidently found
her way to a Swartland farm by jumping truck as she passed by. Not only did she
survive, she has thrived and even produced several offspring. The premium
range pays tribute to this remarkable lady with two red and two white wines
from the Swartland.
Made by Overhex winemaker Willie
Malan, the full-bodied barrel matured 2014 Survivor Pinotage shows hearty fruit
flavours including prune, plum and cherry with delightful notes of spice and
cedar. “We are proud indeed that our Survivor Pinotage made it to the Absa Top
10 shortlist and look forward to the announcement of the winners on the 28th,”
says Willie.
