The significance of the Young Wine Show
The South African Young Wine Show is the oldest wine competition in the Southern Hemisphere, first held in 1833, and has become a benchmark of excellence within the wine industry. Focused on young wines from the latest vintage, it gives our winemakers a unique opportunity to showcase quality and innovation at the very start of our wine’s journey.
For Perdeberg, performing strongly at this competition demonstrates the consistency of our winemaking philosophy: producing wines that combine authentic regional character, technical mastery, and consumer appeal. Success at the Young wine is not just about winning medals, but about reinforcing our reputation as a winery that sets the standard for quality and creativity in South African wine.
The home of Chenin Blanc
Winning across three Chenin Blanc categories once again adds to Perdeberg’s reputation as “The Home of Chenin Blanc.” With multiple expressions of this versatile varietal, from wooded and unwooded styles to naturally sweet, we continue to showcase its depth, elegance, and enduring significance in our portfolio.
