Fleur du Cap does it again

2013 Decanter Asia Wine Awards rewards 88 SA wines

The line-up of international awards for Fleur du Cap Noble Late Harvest range from a trophy from the Decanter World Wine Awards in London earlier this year for Best South African Sweet Wine under £15 to a Gold Outstanding medal at the 2012 International Wine &Spirits Competition. On home turf, the 2011 vintage was the sixth consecutive vintage to achieve 5-stars from the Platter's South African Wines, the only wine ever to have achieved this in the history of this definitive guide.

A blend of Chenin Blanc (76%), Sauvignon Blanc (13%) and Chardonnay (11%), it is available at boutique wine stores and the Fleur du Cap cellar door at Die Bergkelder in Stellenbosch at around R119 per bottle.
