Seven Golds For Spier At The 2024 Concours Mondial De Bruxelles
Spier wines shine once again on the global stage, showcasing the best of Stellenbosch and coastal regions.
We're excited to share some golden news from our farm! Our wines have just received seven medals at the 2024 Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, including one Grand Gold and six Gold medals.
The Concours Mondial de Bruxelles is a competition where wine experts from around the world taste thousands of wines without knowing their brands or origins. Nearly 7,500 wines from 42 countries were tasted this year, and only 30% received medals. We're proud that our wines were among them, bringing home 7 of the total 35 Gold Medals awarded to South African wines.
Our 21 Gables Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 won the Grand Gold medal. It's the third year in a row that this wine has received top honours at this competition, having previously received Grand Gold for the 2018 vintage in 2022 and Gold for the 2019 vintage in 2023. The grapes for this wine come from our vineyards in the Helderberg area, where the region's ideal growing conditions and the subtle coastal influence combine to create exceptional fruit.
We're also particularly pleased to see our Seaward range perform so well, with Gold medals for the Chenin Blanc 2023, Chardonnay 2023, and Cabernet Sauvignon 2022. These wines, influenced by cool coastal breezes, showcase a unique character that reflects their terroir. With three new Gold medals to their name, the Seaward range offers outstanding quality at an accessible price point, making them an excellent choice for wine lovers looking for exceptional value.
