Interesting and varying results, this year, in certain categories. I look forward to sampling some of the trophy winning wines at the KZN Roadshow in particular Susan Erasmus’ 2014 Artisan Cabernet Franc. Congratulations, too, to all the other accomplished female winemakers who have been accoladed.
