Bonnievale Wines has claimed two gold medals at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge. The wines are The River Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2021 and Bonnievale Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2019.

“It’s always gratifying to get recognition in awards programmes because they recognise the efforts of everyone involved in the realisation of fine wine and the excellence across the portfolio,” says Marthinus.

The panel saluted The River Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2021, describing it as “clean, crisp and refreshing”. Released just months ago, it is medium-bodied and a dry yet fruity white wine that is an excellent partner to all seafood, including sushi.

In awarding Gold to the Bonnievale Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, the judges said the wine was drinking “very well now”. They added it would continue to improve with age. This is the third vintage of the wine, which will be officially released later this year. Its predecessors have all been consistent champions, successfully expressing the sites of top vineyards in the Bonnievale stable as well as the quality of the variety from the ward.

The recommended retail price for the River Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2021 is R61 and Bonnievale Limited Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, R145 per bottle. Bonnievale wines are available countrywide and available to order from its online shop.

The winery is on the outskirts of the town from which it derived its name and 125km due east of Cape Town.
