Perdeberg Wines has been honoured at the Fine Wine Awards 2026, with a Trophy, a Gold medal, and ten Silver medals across The Vineyard Collection and The Dry Land Collection, one of the winery’s strongest results yet.
The Results:
- Trophy – The Vineyard Collection Grenache Blanc 2025
- Gold – The Dry Land Collection Longevity Natural Sweet Chenin Blanc 2025
- 10 x Silver – across The Vineyard Collection and Dry Land Collection Range
The Trophy went to The Vineyard Collection Grenache Blanc 2025, made from 100% Grenache Blanc grown on 15-year-old dryland vines in the Coastal Region. The wine reflects a 2025 vintage marked by below-average yields but excellent quality, thanks to dry conditions through late summer and harvest. Gooseberry, green fig, and grassy notes lead on the nose, with a fresh, crisp finish on the palate.
The Gold medal went to The Dry Land Collection Longevity 2025, a 100% Chenin Blanc from 21-year-old dryland vines on Malmesbury shales in Paarl. Extended skin contact and 10 to 12 months in second-fill French oak give the wine its deep gold colour and layered aromas of marmalade, peach, apricot, and honeycomb, with a hint of ginger, leading into a viscous, voluptuous palate — with the potential to age for a further eight years.
“This is one of our strongest results yet at the Fine Wine Awards. The Trophy for our Vineyard Collection Grenache Blanc 2025 and the Gold for our Dry Land Collection Longevity 2025 sit alongside ten Silver medals across both ranges, and that spread means a great deal to us. It shows the consistency of our dry-farmed vineyards and the character each of our ranges brings to the glass, vintage after vintage.” says Andri Le Roux, Perdeberg Winemaker.
Twelve medals across The Vineyard Collection and The Dry Land Collection tell you everything about the depth of what we’re doing at Perdeberg. This isn’t one standout wine, it’s a result that runs across two very different ranges, and it gives our customers real confidence in the quality behind every bottle they choose.
