Cabernet Sauvignon Challenge
It is time to shine the spotlight on Cabernet Sauvignon! Cabernet Sauvignon is a very popular wine among the South African consumers.
"One could say my wine journey began when I was given a case of 1974 Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon in 1980," says Celia Gilloway of Events by Celia, the organiser of the Cabernet Sauvignon Challenge. "I have had the opportunity to taste many wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon wines."
We need to promote all the different brands available. After studying the way South African consumers purchase wine for a year, we came to conclusion that they are drawn to the wines which have awards stickers or they have read about online or in the newspapers.
We try to keep the costs and stock requirements to a minimum while offering a well-run, blind judging with qualified judges, audited by Cecil Kilpin & Co. We only publish the gold and silver medallists. Results are available immediately. Stickers will be available for sale to the relevant entrants.
Only two bottles required for the judging. Wines must be bottled but may be unlabelled (handwritten labels are accepted).
