Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show 2010: The Results

Published: 17 May 10
 

Trophy and medal winners in the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show 2010

Achieving an Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show medal is considered a significant accolade by the local wine industry thanks to the intense scrutiny that each of the wine entries is subjected to.

 

All wines - usually entries total in the region of 1 000 wines - are judged 'blind' by a panel of reputed international and local judges, who are committed to revealing the best wines of the year for the benefit of the South African wine consumer.

T Trophy awarded to highest scoring gold medal winner in a class

G Gold medal awarded for a score of 90 to 100 points out of 100; superlative, world-class

S Silver medal awarded for a score of 80 to 89 points out of 100; excellent, wine of distinction

B Bronze medal awarded for a score of 70 to 79 points out of 100; good to very good, fine character

" Good wines but odd distribution of the points. Very few high points and then the drop to low 80 and lots in the 70. What may the cause be, bad wines. I doubt that. "
Philip Mostert
 
" Clueless me and your panel - how you got to some winners and more importantly some loosers. Bubbly, Ports, Chardonnays, Shiraz , Sauvignon Blanc...some very strange poor performers. Well done to the winners but dont raise your prices just yet - that might also proove to be clueless. "
