Fleur du Cap’s highly
acclaimed Noble Late Harvest 2011 has hit the sweet spot once again, bringing
home a Gold Medal from the 2014 International Wine Challenge (IWC) in London.
The IWC Gold Medal is
the latest accolade to take its place in the Fleur du Cap hall of fame for the
much lauded 2011 Noble Late Harvest vintage. Other triumphs include trophies
from international wine competitions such as the Decanter World Wine Awards and
Decanter Asia Wine Awards; as well as a Gold Outstanding Medal from the
International Wine &Spirits Competition.
Described as “appealing
and attractive,” by the IWC judges, the victorious Fleur du Cap Noble Late
Harvest 2011 is a blend of Chenin blanc (76%), Sauvignon blanc (13%) and
Chardonnay (11%). This full sweet wine is balanced by a zesty acidity and shows
beautiful, yet delicate honeyed orange notes.
“South African wines
wowed the judges at this year’s competition and it was wonderful to see such
high standards across a variety of styles,” commented Co-Chairman of the IWC,
Charles Metcalfe who believes that the gold medallist winemakers demonstrated
exquisite skill in their wines.
The IWC is recognised
as one of the most influential blind tastings in the world with thousands of
entries received from wine producing regions across the globe each year.
Fleur du Cap Noble
Late Harvest 2011 is available at R105 per 375ml bottle at Die Bergkelder in
