Nationally, the winery performed equally well, taking the Stephan Smit Trophy for National Champion Other Wood Matured Red (with the Petit Verdot) and two class winners, Mouvedre (unwooded) and Petit Verdot (wooded).
"Trophies are great but what is equally satisfying is the fact that the winery has for two years running achieved near perfect results on all wines entered in the Young Wine Shows. In 2009, we had the second most gold medals of all participants. This is a testimony that not only can we make exceptional trophy winners but overall our quality is excellent," says Gerhard van der Watt, CEO of Perdeberg.
