Flagstone Wines, Andrew Arnott
The aim of the annual competition is to find worthy wines judged by an all-female panel and to crown the best wines and wineries entered.
The judging took place at the Nietvoorbij campus in Stellenbosch with the Cape Wine Academy handled the logistics to ensure the smooth running of the exciting double-blind tasting.
The ratio of red wines versus white wines entered was 51% to 49% with an array of wines entered in the category: ‘single cultivar wines other’, showing that the industry is evolving and the Big Five are not the only competing cultivars.
