RECM finds best value in Robertson, best quality in Franschhoek

A remarkably strong Shiraz field and a remarkably consistent result: a correlation coefficient of 0.4 between price and score meaning that in general, you get what you paid for. Wynand Grobler from Rickety Bridge romps home in first position. Now based in Franschhoek, he learnt his trade on the Helderberg where his former boss, Jean Engelbrecht, waltzed off with the best SA trophy at the Concours Mondial in Bruxelles earlier this month for his Rust en Vrede Shiraz  blend.
