SA JONGWYN TOEKENNINGS 2018 - GEHOUTE PINOTAGE WEN DIE GENL SMUTS TROFEE
The South African Young Wine Show is the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere and is probably one of the oldest wine shows in the world. The competition’s two most coveted trophies are awarded for the overall champion young wine and the highest score for five best.
The mission of the Show is to judge the quality of wines that are still in their infancy, and have some way to go before they are bottled. Recognition can then be given to the production capabilities of a wine cellar.
Presented annually by the SANWSA, the objective is to identify exciting new voices from within and outside the industry that can communicate an original and innovative message to raise public interest in wine and the responsible use thereof.

Judging
The mission of the South African Young Wine Show is to judge the quality of wines that are still in their infancy, i.e. within the year of production – and have some way to go before they are finally bottled. In this way, the industry can give recognition to the production capabilities of a wine cellar.
