Santam Classic Wine Trophy

Santam Classic Wine Trophy

WINE magazine's 5-Star D'Aria Songbird Sauvignon Blanc 2009 and Delaire Sauvignon Blanc 2009 did not impress the judges at this year's Santam Classic Wine Trophy who failed to find a "quality" Sauvignon Blanc and Cap Classique among this year's entrants.

This year a panel of French judges tasted and rated South African wines, the best of which were, according to Olivier Poels of La Revue du Vin de France, "level with the best from France and the world."

Warwick Wine Estate in Stellenbosch was awarded the trophy for Overall Winner. Best White Wine Trophy went to Hoopenberg Integer Chardonnay 2006. The red wine category was won by Vriesenhof Pinot Noir 2007.

Best Sweet Wine Trophy was awarded to Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2005.
