Results of the inaugural Standard Bank Chenin Blanc Top 10 Challenge, convened by the producer body known as the Chenin Blanc Association, were announced on Wednesday evening, 27 August 2014.

Out of the 126 wines that entered into the challenge, Perdeberg Winery’s ‘The Dry Land Collection Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2013’ was judged to be among the Top 10.

With a judging panel of highly respected wine judges, writers, sommeliers and wine masters, the Standard Bank/Chenin Blanc Top Ten Challenge is an eagle feather in Perdeberg’s cap.

Perdeberg’s Cellar Master, Albertus Louw, said: “To have The Dry Land Collection Chenin Blanc ranked in the Top 10 Chenin Blancs, amongst strong competitors, makes us very proud.”

As a Top 10 winner, Perdeberg Winery received R20 000 cash which they will use towards the ARA project for upgrading and equipping the crèches on their producer farms.
