What’s in the 120-Bottle Wine Prize?

A 120-bottle wine prize is not something you see every day.

To celebrate South African wine and the producers who make our wine regions so exciting, Wineries.co.za is giving wine lovers the chance to win a serious collection of bottles from wineries across the Cape.

From Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon and Robertson Chardonnay to Durbanville Sauvignon Blanc, Paarl Shiraz, Franschhoek blends, Piekenierskloof Grenache and even a Gewürztraminer, this prize brings together a wide spread of South African wine styles.

Here is what is included in the competition wine selection.

The participating wineries and wines

Almenkerk Wine Estate

From Elgin, Almenkerk Wine Estate is contributing Lace Rouge to the prize selection.

This bottle adds an Elgin red-wine angle to the competition and brings one of the Cape’s cooler-climate regions into the mix.

Arendsig Wines

Robertson’s Arendsig Wines is strongly represented in the prize, with a broad selection of varietal wines.

Arendsig’s contribution gives entrants the chance to taste across several classic South African wine categories, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinotage, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

Blake Family Wines

West Coast wine country also features in the prize through Blake Family Wines.

Their Chenin Blanc brings one of South Africa’s signature white varieties into the selection.

De Wetshof Estate

Robertson Chardonnay has a strong reputation, and De Wetshof Estate brings that story into the prize with its Limestone Hill Chardonnay.

This is one of the white wines to look out for in the 120-bottle prize.

Ernie Els Wines

From Stellenbosch, Ernie Els Wines is contributing a bold red-wine classic: Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon.

It is a strong addition for anyone who enjoys structured Stellenbosch reds.

Haute Cabrière

Franschhoek favourite Haute Cabrière adds two wines to the selection.

The winery is represented by its well-known Chardonnay Pinot Noir as well as the Arnim Family Reserve.

Highlands Road Estate

Elgin appears again through Highlands Road Estate, which is contributing Chardonnay.

With both Robertson and Elgin Chardonnay in the prize, this is a good opportunity to compare how the same variety can show itself across different Cape wine regions.

Klawer Wine Cellars

From the Olifants River region, Klawer Wine Cellars brings both red and white South African staples into the prize.

Their contribution includes Chenin Blanc and Pinotage.

Klein Parys Vineyards

Paarl’s Klein Parys Vineyards is contributing Shiraz.

This adds another rich red-wine option to a prize that already includes several expressions of Shiraz from different regions.

Kleine Draken

Kleine Draken brings one of the more unusual bottles in the selection: Gewürztraminer.

For entrants who enjoy aromatic white wines, this is one of the wildcard bottles in the prize.

Koelenhof

Stellenbosch producer Koelenhof is adding an Italian grape variety to the mix with Sangiovese.

It is another interesting bottle in a prize that goes beyond the usual suspects.

Le Manoir de Brendel

From Franschhoek, Le Manoir de Brendel contributes Consuls Reserve.

This adds another Franschhoek estate to the prize and broadens the selection of red blends and reserve-style wines.

Manley Wine Estate

Tulbagh is represented by Manley Wine Estate, which is contributing Shiraz.

This makes the Shiraz lineup especially interesting, with bottles from Paarl, Tulbagh, Wellington, Durbanville, Robertson and Stellenbosch-related producers all appearing in the prize.

Mont du Toit

Wellington’s Mont du Toit adds another Shiraz to the prize.

For red-wine drinkers, the competition includes several regional takes on this popular variety.

Nitida

Durbanville’s Nitida has one of the largest selections in the prize.

Their contribution covers Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Shiraz, Cap Classique and several named wines, giving entrants a broad snapshot of the Nitida range.

Nuiba Wines

Stellenbosch’s Nuiba Wines is contributing Second Post Shiraz.

This bottle adds another Stellenbosch-linked red to the prize and strengthens the Shiraz selection.

Piekenierskloof Wines

Piekenierskloof Wines brings Grenache Noir to the prize.

This is one of the standout variety choices in the lineup and gives the competition a mountain-grown red-wine angle.
