An Absa Top 10 Pinotage award is one of the most prestigious annual South African wine accolades and this year will be no exception. The competition celebrates this eponymous grape varietal as one of South Africa’s signature wines – a true success story with a fascinating history. With the ongoing support of key sponsor, Absa, the competition has not only seen an immensely positive impact on the quality of this unique wine category, but also everyone associated with it.
The sky is the limit when it comes to Pinotage wine quality, bearing testimony to winemakers embracing their terroir which ultimately enables them to make iconic wines that shine on the international stage.
Entries are also open for the Pinotage Icon category (Museum class), for Pinotage wines 10 years and older. Truter is sure that the older Pinotage category is set to become one of the most exciting wine categories and welcomes the entries that will be received this year.
