Dear friends in wine

 

Our panel of judges tasted the 75 wines that were entered for the 2010 Blaauwklippen Blending Competition on Wednesday the 21st of July.

 

Our judging panel included:

 

Rolf Zeitvogel (Blaauwklippen cellar master)

Clive Torr (Cape wine master, winemaker and wine judge)

Jeanri Tyne van Zyl (WINE magazine)

Andrew  Chigorimbo (Wine judge, and wine writer)

Michelle Grimbeek (Cape wine academy)  

 

The judges were extremely impressed with the quality of the blends received, as well as the creative way in which clubs used the varietals.

 

Our finalists for 2010 are, in no particular order:

 

From the Western Cape, Die Weskus Wyngilde, 

From the Eastern Cape, Engineer's Wine Society

From Natal:  The Tipsy Tarts Wine Club

Thank you to all our loyal clubs, and all the new entries received.
