Prescient Fund Services Signature Red Blend Report 2025: Call for entries

Entries for this year’s Signature Red Blend Report sponsored by financial institution Prescient Fund Services are now open, the focus being wines which are distinctive of their originators and draw particular attention in the market place. So-called Rhône-style blends, Cape Blends and all other proprietorial red blends are permissible but Bordeaux-style blends are not.

Winemag.co.za will be generating a number of category reports throughout the year – see here. Each report will be based on the outcome of a blind tasting of wines entered within a specific category and includes key findings, tasting notes for the top wines, buyer’s guide (wines ranked by quality relative to price) and scores on the 100-point quality scale for all wines entered.

Wines will be tasted by a three-person panel consisting of Christian Eedes as chairman, Ndaba Dube, director of operations at the President Hotel in Cape Town, and Francois Rautenbach, wine and hospitality specialist.

Entries close on Thursday 12 June. For the rules and entry form, click here.
