The third Concours Mondial du Sauvignon took place during March in Bordeaux, this competition was created to promote wines of this varietal and create worldwide public awareness to the comprehensive range of Sauvignon Blanc wines.
So pretty much a highly specialized global Sauvignon Blanc award, and we won one for our Coronata Intergration 2010.
This award is a testament to what we want to achieve with the wine, a well intergrated Sauvignon & Semillon blend, not dominated by a single varietal, but rather a well balanced wine that shows the best of both varietals.
We are the only South African wine that won an award in the Sauvignon Blanc blend category and one of only six South African wine cellars to have won an award in this highly acclaimed international competition.
To add to that, our Sauvignon Blanc 2011 missed out on a Silver medal with a 0.87 point difference! So out of the 666 entries of which only 189 wines were awarded...not too shabby I'd say.
Another feather in the cap for "Handmade wine".
