Our River Garden Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2013 has been awarded a Gold medal at the 2014 Gold Wine Awards!

These awards showcase wines that offer excellent value within their price category. Wines need to be priced at R70 or less to participate in the competition.

The River Garden Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2013 is a bright, deep red wine with dark chocolate, tobacco and blackberry notes on the nose followed by a dense meaty core with hints of licourice and a mineral finesse on the finish. It consists of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 5% Mourvèdre. A wine to be enjoyed with everyday home-style dishes from meat on the barbeque to more hearty stews and pastas or even just with a beef sandwich for lunch.

A little about the competition:
This is a wine competition where wines are judged by wine enthusiasts, to see if the wines are excellent value within their price category. Often consumers, especially at low prices, do not have a guide to choose from the many brands out there. This competition aims to be a guide to make the amount of wines that the consumer have to choose from smaller by highlighting wines that are well priced.

The wines have to be R70.00 including VAT or below, and available somewhere in South Africa to the consumer at that price.

Only Gold medals are awarded to the winners.
