Natural sweet wines

This category struggled for the first time this year, managing a solitary win from a very fine Elgin example. 

Fortified wines

The fortified category enjoyed an exceptional innings in 2024 with 5 wines granted awards. Worcester gained 3 wins while Robertson managed 2 wins.

Port style wines

There were three thoroughly fine ports that cracked the judges nods in this category, two vintage reserves as well as a tawny. All were from the Calitzdorp region.

Vintages - white wines

Vintage 2023 enjoyed 16 winning wines while vintage 2022 gained 11 winning wines. 2021 had 3 winning wines and vintage 2020 a single win.        

Vintages - red wines

Vintage 2021 gained 23 wins, vintage 2022 gained 18 awards and vintage 2020 enjoyed 12 wins. Vintage 2019 gained 3 awards, while vintage 2017 and vintage 2023 scored a single award each.

Vintages - MCC wines

5 Vintages were awarded. Vintage 2017 and vintage 2018 gained 2 awards each while a single award went to vintage 2013. Non-Vintage bubblies gained 3 wins matching last year’s performance.

Scores and top wine quality

The winning wines, those that achieved Double Platinum/Top 100 status awards in the 2024 Top 100 results, earned scores of between 91/100 and 95/100. This was, once again, marginally lower than the score bands in the 2022 and 2023 NWC events and also slightly lower than the average of the proceeding two years. Most of the winning wines gained scores between the bands of 91/100 to 93/100, with results spread fairly evenly. To be expected, a smaller number of wines gained 94/100 and 95/100.

The 2024 set of results reinforces the view that narrow bands of smaller incremental improvements are currently being found across wine styles, cultivars and regions throughout the Western Cape. Given the substantial improvements made over the past decade, this may be an expected consequence. Fine wine generally is at a more elevated status than in the previous decade.

SA fine wine remains well-recognised after years of strong performance. It yields an enticing array of smart examples across most cultivars and blends, sometimes at very attractive prices.

Statistics and ratio of entries to wins

Red wines accounted for 50% of total entries, again, a small decrease on 2023. White wines represented 34% of total entries, a small increase on last year.  Rosé wines accounted for just 1% of all wines entered; a significant drop.  MCC increased again to total 8% of all entries. The sweet/fortified/port category grew slightly to achieve 6% of all wines entered in 2024.
 
Firstly, we look at the percentage of winners by category, against all  wines entered: Just over 10% of the high quality red wine entries in 2024 gained Top 100 status this year which represents a small increase. White wine Top 100 winners enjoyed a higher winning ratio than in 2023, achieving a success ration close to 5.5%. 1.4% of MCCs entered enjoyed winning Top 100 status which is an identical performance to 2023. 1.6% of the categories of Sweet, Fortified and Port wines were awarded Top 100 status, a solid increase on 2023.

Secondly, we looked at the Top 100 winning wines by cultivar or blend. These are expressed as a percentage of total entries for that cultivar or blend, from highest to lowest performing:  
 
29% for Bordeaux Red Blends, 27.5% for Shiraz, 27% for Other White Blends, 25% for Chardonnay, 23% for Other Red Cultivars, 21% for Merlot, 20.5% for Other Red Blends, 17% for Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% for Pinot Noir, then 12.5% both for Red Rhone Blends and for Other White Cultivars, 11% for Chenin Blanc, followed by 9% for Pinotage, 7% for Cape Blends and just 4.5% for Sauvignon Blanc.
 
In summary, it was Bordeaux Red Blends, Shiraz, Other White Blends and Chardonnay that enjoyed the highest ratio of successes to wines entered. While Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, Cape Blends and Sauvignon had the lowest ration of winning wines from the total of wines entered.

Robin von Holdt reviews the 2024 National Wine Challenge (NWC), now in its 14th successful year

We are delighted to again present an excellent set of results for the 2024 NWC. It is celebration time both for winners as well as for consumers. These are fantastic wines! We too are thrilled that this leading wine event is now in its 14th successful year and the first in the calender to release key wine- performance results.  Our gratitude and thanks first and foremost to so many of SA’s leading and emerging vineyards who offered their positive and strong support. The rewards of working with the talented individuals and teams who are at the forefront of our brilliant local wine industry, is tremendously uplifting.

Wineries compete for the acclaimed array of prestigious awards. The professional NWC team is recognised for applying an internationally rated approach and standard to support and promote SA fine-wine through the National Wine Challenge. Public appreciation of the top-level performances achieved by winners,  provides independent credibility together with enhanced sales. Advantageous commercial gains and brand enhancement opportunities are well entrenched.  As is the positive industry recognition, acknowledgement and support for what the NWC delivers. Winning results directly influence decisions around listings, enhanced shelf space and crucially, additional sales.

On the global platform critics and commentators maintain strong support for SA fine-wine whose quality is now a well fought-for given. There are a number of positive facts of  which to be proud: Vineyard practices that include more accurate planting, better clonal selection, canopy management, sustainable viticulture and harvesting skills, are all much improved. Better cellar protocol means hygiene factors, sensitive pressing and extraction, smaller tanks to tie in with vineyard selections, better barrel selection and much more all add to positive differences. Altogether the resultant fine wines have a more influential tailwind via these numerous fine-tuning upgrades. At their best, top winning wines offer a harmonious balance of elegance, structure and complexity. These are the attributes of great wines. Our best wines do justice to these.

Tough economic times continue in much of what comes across as a very stressed world right now.  This is mirrored in SA today. The SA wine industries remains enthusiastically committed to making better wines and doing so with hard work and exceptionally long hours. Our wine industry culture is humorously resilient, a feature of "how we do things".

In 2024 it is true to now say out local fine wines can be talked up. They are indeed really very good. The 2024 Top 100 portfolio of winning wines even more so. They deserve your full support and places on your table and in your cellar too. Every last one of them is going to offer immense enjoyment!

The strong set of 2024 results showcase a diverse portfolio of fine SA wines. It is very difficult to win a Top 100 podium award. This is the toughest nut to crack, as winemakers attest. New vineyards and new wines again entered into the 2024 NWC for the first time. Altogether it is just that much harder to achieve the recognition that this very special award commands.

The performance of the panels, the quality of judges and the rigorous disciplines and protocols behind it all, underpinned by the independent audit, sets the professional standard.

We offer our grateful thanks to all of our numerous supporters. Special congratulations of course go to all 2024 winners.

Winners share their comments

Almenkerk

Joris van Almenkerk, cellarmaster: “Our single vineyard Merlot has been one of our stalwart cultivars since it was first released in 2013. Building on the strengths from previous years, this 2022 vintage was a combination of meticulous canopy management and judicious winemaking. Congratulations to our Almenkerk Team.”

Constantia Uitsig

Estian de Wet, winemaker: “We are very proud and honored that our Sauvignon Blanc won the Grand Cru – Best in Class, as well as Top 100 & Double Platinum in this year’s NWC Challenge! To add to our great news, the Estate Red also won the Double Gold award! We couldn’t be happier with results.” 

De Krans

Christoff de Wet, winemaker: “We are so proud to receive the Double Platinum and Top 100 award for both the De Krans Tritonia Verdelho 2022 and the De Krans Tawny Limited Release! This Tawny port is full of decadent flavours like caramel, apricot, plum raisin, pecan nuts and walnuts – all knit harmoniously together. Our wine and port style wines makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant and every day more civilized.”

De Wet Cellar

Tertius Jonck, winemaker: “We are delighted that our exquisite White Muscadel and Hanepoot has been awarded a Double Platinum medal and included in the Top 100 Wines. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the diversity and quality of our wines.

At De Wet Cellar, we strive to showcase the unique terroirs in our portfolio. Additionally, we take pride in offering a selection of exceptional fortified wines.”

This consistent commendation serves as testimony to Dornier’s devoted pursuit of quality wine production. We congratulate and thank the teams in the vineyards and the cellar for their unwavering commitments throughout the year.”

Edgebaston

David Finlayson, proprietor: “I am very proud that the GS Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 has once again proven itself as one of SA’s best wines in such an esteemed competition. This is a breakthrough moment for the David Finlayson Chardonnay to win double platinum in SA Top 100!” 

Annette Van Zyl + Anthony De Jager, winemakers: “Primo Pinotage 2022 (Best in Category), lovely to see this single vineyard off our own property doing well here, and the best in category is a first for Primo and a great honour.

FV Extrano 2021
Once again, this blend has been recognised by the judges, as an unusual varietal mix for SA, which makes its recognitions all the more special. We think Tempranillo is a wonderful grape variety and blender for South African condition.

Beryl Back 2023
Our flagship honoring Charles’ later mother Beryl Back, this white blend is a labour of love, showcasing the best our Paarl vineyards. A lot of work and attention to detail goes into the making of this wine, so it is great to be recognised here.

Eenzaamheid Shiraz 2021
What a vintage!! We have been making beautiful wine from this vineyard since 2000. Our gratitude to growers Christo and Janno Briers Louw from the farm Eenzaamheid in Agter-Paarl.

FV Shiraz 2021
Again, from the 2021 vintage. This is so cool to get TOP 100, for the good value for money, every day, solid Fairview Shiraz 2021. Deep and dark fruit driven Paarl fruit blended with cool climate spicey Darling grown fruit.”

Groot Constantia

Jean Naude, CEO: "The awards we have received are a testament to the immense effort and dedication that our production teams have consistently demonstrated over the years. This achievement is not an isolated event but follows a history of excellent results in various other competitions. These accolades honour Groot Constantia's rich heritage and unique terroir, reflecting the same high standards and excellence upheld for centuries.

Our consistent success is deeply rooted in the vision of our founder, who aptly named this farm 'CONSTANTIA' to signify enduring quality and perseverance. Each award we receive is a compliment to our hard work and a continuation of a legacy that dates back to the origins of Groot Constantia. We are proud to maintain the exceptional standards that have been synonymous with Groot Constantia for generations.

In celebrating these achievements, we honour the wishes and foresight of our founder, Simon van der Stel, proving that the spirit of excellence he envisioned remains alive and thriving. Groot Constantia's continued recognition in the industry underscores our unwavering commitment to preserving and enhancing the legacy of our historic estate, a commitment we share with you."

Daniel Keulder, winemaker: "We are overjoyed at Groot Constantia to be awarded six wines in the National Wine Challenge Top 100 wines. These awards again confirm the incredible quality of Groot Constantia's wines across various varietals. We celebrate the success and efforts of our whole team in achieving these awards."

Floricius Beukes, estate manager and viticulturist: "We are profoundly grateful for these accolades, which stand as a testament to the dedication and hard work of your entire team over the past 12 months. Groot Constantia’s commitment to excellence has truly shone through in every endeavor. To our team: Thank you for your unwavering efforts and remarkable achievements."

Holden Manz

Annamarie Fourie, winemaker: “Semillion 2021, the 2021 harvest was approx. 2 weeks later than normal due to cooler weather throughout the season, which persisted through harvest time and expressed itself with vines of higher acidity.

A 25-year-old patch of Franschhoek-grown grapes within sight of Holden Manz produced a yield of around 6 tons per hectare. The wine was stirred on fine lees for 11 months before bottling. Limited production of 1,087 bottles produced.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, this is an Estate wine. These grapes were picked from site-specific parcels on the Estate with varying soil types. This complexity in growing has resulted in a wonderful intricacy in the wine. Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness to enable the correct balance between sugar and phenolic components. Individual batches were bunch and berry sorted and allowed to start fermentation naturally after 10 days of cold soaking.”

Jakkalsvlei

Louis van der Riet, winemaker: “We are super excited to be awarded with two Top 100 wines and even more so to receive Crand Cru best in Class for our Mount Cuvée Cape Blend as this is our first time entering our wines into the Top 100 wines competition.  A true honour to receive these accolades and confirmation of what we have set out to do is going in the right direction.”

Jordan Wine Estate

Jordan Black Magic Merlot 2022
Jordan The Prospector Syrah 2022
Jordan Chardonnay Barrel Fermented 2023

Sjaak Nelson, winemaker: “We are very proud of our team’s outstanding performance, both in the cellar and in the vineyards. Receiving Top 100 and Double Platinum for three of our wines this year, shows the high quality that we are consistently achieving at Jordan Wine Estate. This success is due to the attention to detail in the cellar, as well as the unique situation of the vineyards on Jordan Wine Estate. Our cellar and vineyard team celebrate this recognition and know that all their hard work has, once again, paid off.”

Ken Forrester Wines

The FMC
The Gypsy

Ken Forrester, proprietor: "Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote, 'All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travellers, the stars are guides.'

Winemakers, the trade and consumers all perceive awards differently, but I sincerely hope that some are guided towards tasting one (or a selection) of award-winning wine."

Koelenhof Winery

Nicholas Husselman, head winemaker: “We are grateful for receiving 3 Double Platinum awards in two different wine ranges. This recognises our quality of wine that we put in under our labels. Congratulations to all involved.”

La Motte

Edmund Terblanche, cellarmaster: “La Motte Syrah is close to our hearts. It celebrates La Motte’s terroir as it is made exclusively from grapes grown on the estate, while its elegant style also acknowledges our French winemaking heritage. We are both humbled and excited by this exceptional recognition for the 2020 vintage.”

Neethlingshof Estate

Mika Engelbrecht, winemaker: "I’m beyond thrilled to see our hard work and passion celebrated with such esteemed recognition. Having our wines honoured in the Top 100, with Neethlingshof The Caracal 2021 earning Double Platinum, showcases not just the exceptional quality of our wines, but also the dedication and enthusiasm of our amazing team. A heartfelt thank you for the acknowledgment, and congratulations to all the other deserving winners!"

Nuy Winery

Christo Basson, cellarmaster: “The winemaking team is thrilled to have our Mastery Shiraz 2022 in the Top 100 and three double silvers for our Chenin Blanc 2024, Sauvignon Blanc 2024, and Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc 2024. Accolades like these confirm we are on the right track to make wines that appeal to consumers.”

Paul Wallace

Bobby Wallace, winemaker: “We are thrilled to have been awarded Top 100 and Double Platinum for these two wines.  One a Burgundian varietal, the other a Bordeaux varietal - showcasing the diverse topography of the Paul Wallace Family Farm.  Matching the grape variety to the right site, the understanding built up over the years of how to best manage the vagaries of the respective vineyards and solid vinification practices are justly rewarded in these two cool-climate Elgin wines.  Thank you, National Wine Challenge, for recognising the merits of these two wines.”

Quoin Rock

Schalk Opperman, winemaker: “This is an excellent result for a special wine, each year we’re excited to produce this unique blend to highlight the Simonsberg terroir. The diverse altitudes of each block, ranging from 150m to 500m above sea level in the heart of Stellenbosch is what sets this blend apart.”

Rickety Bridge

Donovan Ackermann, winemaker: “We are very proud and honoured to receive this award for our Foundation Stone White 2023 blend. As a winemaker its always fascinating working with different building blocks, and to see it all come together in a blend is just magic!”

Ridgeback Wines

Toit Wessels, cellarmaster: “The Ridgeback team is immensely proud and grateful to be the recipient of 3 x Double Platinum awards at the prestigious 2024 NWC Top 100 Competition which we consider to be a benchmark of the finest wines in the industry.”

Villiera Wines 

Nathan Valentine, winemaker: “To receive a Double Platinum for the Villiera Monro Brut 2017 for the third year running, is evidence of the consistent quality of this Cap Classique and the team effort that goes into producing this reserve style with extended time on the lees.  We are equally proud of the Double Platinum achievement for The Clan 2019 and our Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2023. Thank you for this wonderful acknowledgement.”
