The 2022 Absa Top 10 Pinotage winners and top vintage-class wines were celebrated at a special event held at Nooitgedacht in Stellenbosch on Tuesday 30 August. Among the winners were wines from Somerset West.
Industry stakeholders and producers gathered to celebrate some of the finest pinotage wines. Absa Bank is a proud sponsor of the Pinotage Association and the parties have enjoyed a solid collaboration over the past 25 years. The bank remains the proud sponsor of the annual awards and is committed to its relationship with the association.
“Our collaborative, long-standing relationship with Absa Bank, and their 25-year investment in the Pinotage Association is testament to the bank’s understanding that agriculture is a generational and relational business,” said chairperson Beyers Truter.
This year 130 entries were received, and after a rigorous judging process the top 10 pinotages were selected, including one from the Somerset West region – Flagstone Writer’s Block Pinotage 2020 by Gerhard Swart.
