Fleur du Cap has hit
the ground running in the awards rush this season, raking in a Gold medal for
their Bergkelder Selection Shiraz 2012 at the 2014 Syrah du Monde competition
in France.
Fleur du Cap’s winning
Shiraz was one of only seven South African wines to win a Gold Medal in this
respected competition. Crafted from the pick of the crop from the Western
Cape’s finest vineyards, this Shiraz is true to its varietal character and
offers excellent quality without breaking the bank.
Syrah du Monde, the
only international wine competition dedicated solely to this varietal, rated
405 wines from 26 countries, awarding gold medals to just 42 wines.
“We are in the
enviable position to source the best grapes from a diverse range of vineyard
sites and micro climates throughout the Western Cape, each imparting special
qualities to our wines. This award attests to the passion our whole team puts
into each and every Fleur du Cap wine,” says cellarmaster Andrea Freeborough
who works closely with Winemaker Wim Truter and Viticulturist Bennie
Liebenberg.
Fleur du Cap
Bergkelder Selection Shiraz 2012 is available at leading wine outlets
country-wide or the Fleur du Cap cellar door at Die Bergkelder in Stellenbosch
for R75 per bottle.
