Changing of the guard? Lovely Pinotage but few top seeds in Absa Top 10

THERE WERE PLENTY of regulars at the top of the SA Wine Classification included among the 20 finalists of the 2020 Absa Top 10 Pinotage Competition, but by the time the trophy winners were announced only a few of the big-name producers were called to the podium.

Good news for bargain hunters is that five of the winning wines are priced at under R200 a bottle, with two of them at under R100 and one of these from the Swartland! However, such is the growing prestige of Pinotage at its finest that bottles going for R300, R400 and more are familiar to those who also place a lot of importance on the strengh of the brand.
