Du Toitskloof Old Vine Sauvignon Blanc under NWC Top 100 SA Wines 2021
Our #Breedekloof Unexpected from Du Toitskloof Wines is awarded Double Platinum and under the Top 100 SA Wines for 2021. Cheers to their Old Vine Sauvignon Blanc 2020!
The National Wine Challenge, incorporating Top 100 SA Wines, the premier fine-wine-only wine competition in SA, launched the industry’s first set of key results for 2021.
Given the nature of Covid risks and protocols, it was again not possible to host the annual celebratory awards fixture. A strong line up of over six hundred fine wine entries made for a very competitive challenge this year. Not a record number, but given the lockdowns, bans on sales, and associated industry issues, we were well pleased with this result.
The wine quality this year was again excellent albeit generally perhaps not quite at the level of the past couple of years. The results speak for themselves. Winning wines in all categories punched hard, making for a compelling case for wine lovers to seek these out.
Shawn Thomson, Chief Production Manager & Winemaker at Du Toitskloof: “Wow! To have three wines in the Top 100 is an absolute honour. Keywords that come to mind are Dedication, Attention to Detail and incredible Teamwork. I am so happy about the Old Vine Sauvignon Blanc which is the first of its kind from our valley and what was once only an idea is now making us so very proud.”
