Decanter Success for South Africa
In a standout year for South Africa at the Decanter World Wine Awards, the results reflect top quality and diversity of style from the nation’s producers
Following a particularly challenging year for South Africa’s wine producers between domestic ongoing alcohol bans and export issues, recent results from the Decanter World Wine Awards are reason to celebrate, with almost 50 top medals awarded.
Results have never been stronger and the quality has never been higher for South African wines at the international competition, with one Best in Show, nine Platinum and 39 Gold medals awarded this year. In comparison, this is more than double the number of Platinum medals awarded in 2020 and an increase of 25% on Golds.
