cape point`s duncan savage triumphs at the trophy wine

CAPE POINT'S DUNCAN SAVAGE TRIUMPHS AT THE TROPHY WINE SHOW
Pipped at the post by the narrowest of margins at the 2006 Old Mutual Trophy Wine
Show, Cape Point Vineyards came back this year with an even stronger entry and
secured the Fairbairn Capital Trophy for the competition's Most Successful Producer
at the 2007 Show. At the awards function held at the Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town
on 4 June Cape Point's Duncan Savage walked off with trophies for the Best
Semillon, Best Museum Class Semillon and the Best Sauvignon Blanc. Together with
two silvers and one bronze medal Savage ensured that his lead was unassailable.
Vergelegen, which has won the Most Successful Producer Trophy four times in the
past six years, finished second overall and JP Bredell Wines came third. In comparison with most
previous years, where one winery tended to dominate the trophy haul, this year's results saw a far more
even allocation of the 19 trophies awarded.
The Vergelegen White 2006 won the Trophy for the Best White Blend and Bredell's Cape Vintage secured
the Old Mutual Trophy for the Best Port. Two additional sponsored trophies were introduced this year:
the Miele Trophy for the Best Chardonnay was awarded to Backsberg Babylons Toren Chardonnay 2003.
This screwcap-closure wine also won the Trophy for the Best White Wine with a score of 96. The Grande
Roche Trophy for the Best Merlot was awarded to Hillcrest for their Merlot 2005.
The Môreson Magia 2003 won the Riedel Glass Trophy for the Best Red Blend (Bordeaux Style) and with
a score of 97 went on to win the BoE Trophy for the Best Red Wine. The British Airways Comair Trophy
for the Best Shiraz was awarded for the second time to Carl van der Merwe - this year for the Quoin Rock
Simonsberg Syrah 2005. The American Express Trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon was presented to
Clinton le Sueur for the Longridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2004.
The Old Mutual Trophy for Discovery of the Show (Best Value) is awarded to the trophy-winning wine
achieving the best score/price ratio. This year's trophy for the Discovery of the Show was presented to
Hartenberg for the 2004 Pinotage.
The competition - judged annually by some of the world's best know wine experts - was held at the
Grande Roche in Paarl from 7 to 10 May. There were 971 entries for this year's competition, of which 968
were judged (after disqualifications and late withdrawals). This is a slight increase on the final numbers
for 2006.
While the number of gold medals awarded was the same as last year (24), silver and bronze medals
dropped significantly in number - from 46 to 38 and 227 to 175 respectively.
On the other hand, the trophies were more evenly spread across most of the major classes as a result of
gold medal awards in almost all the significant categories. This year saw trophies awarded in the Dessert
Wine, Methóde Cap Classique and Pinotage classes. In 2006 none of the entries in these categories won
a gold medal, the minimum requirement for inclusion at the trophy judging. Museum Class entries (white
wines of four years and older and red wines and ports at least eight years old) were significantly up on
2006.
Stephen Cahill, General Manager Marketing of Old Mutual, enthuses that as a proudly South African
company Old Mutual is delighted to be associated with a world-class showcase for local wines. "We have
been associated with the Trophy Wine Show since 2002," he said. "The show provides us with a great
opportunity to engage around the country with investment clients, advisers and other stakeholders".
