Estate gallops to victory

The cooperative was ranked among the top 10 performing wineries at the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show this week, winning an impressive eight bronze awards as well as the Trophy for Best Chenin Blanc for its SAAM Mountain Middelburg Chenin Blanc 2007.

The winery's CEO, Gerhard van der Watt, says, “This is the second time we've won a batch of awards in as many months. We are delighted to win these accolades and we're raising a glass to ourselves for our achievement.”

This latest news might be greeted by some online toasts as well. The winery has been running a unique Facebook application entitled ‘clink to win' that gives people who raise a glass to anything they like the chance to win Perdeberg wines.
