Perdeberg Wines is proud to announce its recent success at two esteemed international competitions: the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) and The Drinks Business: Global Chenin Blanc Masters. Known as The Home of Chenin Blanc™, Perdeberg’s dedication to quality and innovation shines through these awards, solidifying their position as a leader in producing South African Chenin Blanc.
“We are incredibly proud of our team’s hard work and dedication, reflected in these prestigious awards,” says Perdeberg Cellar Master, Albertus Louw. “These accolades are a testament to our commitment to crafting exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of the Agter-Paarl area, with a particular focus on Chenin Blanc, a signature grape varietal of South Africa. Chenin Blanc is a versatile grape varietal that is perfectly suited to South Africa’s climate.”
Perdeberg’s award-winning wines include:
- Gold Medal (96 points) – IWSC 2024: Endura Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2022
- Gold Medal (95 points) – IWSC 2024: Endura Winemaker’s Selection Cape Blend 2021

- Gold Medal – The Drinks Business: Global Chenin Blanc Masters 2024: The Dry Land Collection Fortitude Fortified Chenin Blanc 2022
“We are particularly excited about the recognition for our Chenin Blanc wines, especially the 96-point score awarded to the Endura Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2022 at IWSC,” says Perdeberg Marketing Manager, Chantelle Boucher. “The decomposed granite in the soil, high altitude and location of this specific vineyard block gives a natural acidity and freshness to the wine with excellent ageing potential, which holds great interest for wine connoisseurs.”
“Not only do these awards highlight our expertise in crafting exceptional Chenin Blancs that have impressed both critics and consumers alike, but also showcase the success our team has in creating wines of excellence with other cultivars and blends such as our Endura Winemaker’s Selection Cape Blend. This affirms and gives consumers peace of mind in their liquid investment in Perdeberg Wines.”
