In conjunction with RisCura, a global financial services provider, Winemag.co.za is pleased to announce the second annual Red Hot Wine Awards featuring Bordeaux-style red blends.

The Bordeaux region in the southwest of France is famous for its red blends, the best of which have the ability to mature with benefit for many years in bottle. The two grape varieties that feature most prominently are austere Cabernet Sauvignon and fleshy Merlot, although Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot also play a role. The style has been imitated around the world and South Africa is no exception.
59 entries were received from 46 producers for this year’s competition. 13 wines were rated 90 or higher on the 100-point quality scale and these were recognised during an event held at Burrata restaurant situated at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock on Wednesday, 22 June.

The top wines were as follows:

94

Groot Constantia Gouverneurs Reserve Red 2013

93

Ernie Els Signature 2013
Mveme Raats MR de Compostella 2014

92

Delaire Graff Botmaskop 2014
Hartenberg The Mackenzie 2012
Spier Creative Block 5 2013
Vriesenhof Kallista 2010

91
Dombeya Fenix 2011
Eikendal Classique 2014
Uva Mira O.T.V. 2014

90
Creation Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot 2014
Diemersdal Private Collection 2014
Rustenberg John X Merriman 2013

As producer of the best wine overall, Groot Constantia won a new 300-litre Selection range barrel from Tonnellerie Sylvain worth nearly R14 000.

A full report on the state of the category can be found on the Winemag.co.za site.
This competition is a companion project to the RisCura White Hot Wine Awards begun in 2013 and featuring Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon blends, the white wine traditionally associated with Bordeaux. Results of the White Hot Wine Awards will made public on 7 September.
