SA Wine Classification 2024

  • South Africa’s top wine producers over the past 10 years – the best track records from 2014 to 2023 (inclusive) 
  • According to the top panels – the experts’ rankings of South African wines as reviewed around the world
The SA Wine & Cellar Classifications, updated annually since 2004, are based on the top ratings by the most respected panels locally and internationally when it comes to assessing wine quality and interest value in a ‘blind tasting’ environment – the identities of the wines and their producers withheld so as to avoid positive or negative bias in terms of brand status, the origin of the grapes and the location of the cellars. For South Africa’s Best of the Best most highly rated wines over the past 10 years, click here. For the most highly rated SA wine producers in the Hall of Fame, click here. For info about the top wine panels, click here, and for their latest reviews, click here. Ratings by individual critics do not have a bearing on the Classifications, and nor to the results of certain questionable wine competitions. Depending on the number of vintages for which the wines receive top accolades and the nature of the accolades, the very best track records are highlighted in showcasing which of South Africa’s wines are most highly fancied year in and year out. For a pdf of the full 2024 SA Wine & Cellar Classifications together with more information regarding eligibility for selection and the ranking system, click here to print or download.

The Hall of Fame includes the SA wine producers applauded for The Best of The Best in terms of the SA Wine Classification.
