Introduction
Results of the inaugural Next Generation Awards sponsored by FedEx Express and convened by Winemag.co.za are live. The aim of this new competition is to identify South Africa’s emerging winemaking talent. A condition of entry was that entrants should be under 35 years of age at the time of the awards ceremony on 11 June.
There were 62 wines from 37 entrants (all wine categories were permitted) and these were tasted blind (labels out of sight) by a three-person panel, scoring done according to the 100-point quality scale.
