Young Wine Show Results

A relatively young wine company has scooped the much sought after top trophy of the 2012 SA Young Wine Show.  
A Ruby Cabernet from uniWines Vineyards won the General Smuts trophy as the best young wine of the show. This is an exciting step up for cellar master Nicolaas Rust and his team as it follows on an SA Champion title in the category Other Red Cultivar for their Ruby Cabernet at last year’s awards ceremony.  It is the first time in the history that this particular cultivar has won this prestigious trophy. 
The General Smuts trophy was first awarded in 1952 – 60 years ago.
