2018 SA Wine & Cellar Classifications – Top Wine SA
The top South African wines and cellars over the past 10 years – best track records from 2008 to 2017 inclusive Consensus of the top panels – a pooling of expert opinions about South African wines reviewed around the globe
The SA Wine Classification and SA Cellar Classifications – updated annually since 2004 – are based on the top ratings and awards from experts in the world’s most respected forums for the assessment of wine quality and interest value where South Africa has a significant presence. This involves reviews by panels of judges who conduct their assessments in a ‘blind tasting’ environment, i.e. with the names of the wines and their producers withheld so as not to influence the jury either positively or negatively in terms of brand perceptions or price tags.
The Classifications take into account ratings and awards presented during the previous 10 years, whereby eligibility for selection requires at least three vintages of a wine to receive a good review by at least one of the top panels during the period under review. Depending on the number of vintages for which the leading wines receive top accolades, the number of good ratings as well as how glowing the reviews are, the very best track records in the various categories are highlighted in showcasing which of South Africa’s wines and cellars are most highly fancied most often.
