Trophy Wine Show (SA): gold medals
The Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show is a national wine competition that seeks to identify South Africa's best wines and top producers.
Convened annually by leading wine critic Michael Fridjhon and WINE magazine, a panel of international and local judges award gold, silver and bronze medals, with gold medals presented for wines scored 90 points or more out of 100 to signify "superlative, world class". Trophies are presented for the highest-scoring gold medallist in the various classes, and full results of the event are published in the wine guide ICONS.
