(Above) Wine so good, the world can’t get enough.

It feels like every month there’s a South African wine being given laurels for how great it is. Between our reds, whites, roses and bubbly, we clearly are on top of the world.

While characters like the insufferably arrogant Cecil Pike from Kevin Kwan’s latest book, ’Sex and Vanity’, may look down on South African wine, the world is truly synced with South Africa and is always heaping praise at our brilliant wines.

The Washington Post’s Dave McIntyre frequently lists our wines on his suggestion list for the publication. No month goes by without him touching on SA’s finest.

So if you have missed the news, here are some of the awards that South African wines have won over the past six months.

The L’Ormarins Cap Classique wines received a Gold award at the 2020 Amorim Cap Classique Challenge. The results were announced on 30 September.

The sought after accolade was awarded to the L’Ormarins Brut Rosé NV, which was also acknowledged as the Best Rosé in this year’s competition. Crafted and created with true passion the L’Ormarins Brut Rosé NV delivers outstanding quality with a constant stream of fine bubbles. Delicious aromas of raspberries and strawberries on the nose follow through to a palate which is alive with bright red berries and crisp acidity.
