A result to warm the heart of Beyers Truter, King of Pinotage. Our rainbow sommelier panel placed Pinotage 1 and 2 in a WellsFaber blind tasting of three dozen wines from Durbanville this morning at the Cape Town Club.

Two thirds of the wines are from a single producer: Diemersdal. The top six scoring wines are

Diemersdal Seven Generations Pinotage 2015
Dimersdal Pinotage Reserve 2015
Durbanville Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Diemersdal unwooded Chardonnay 2016
Diemersdal Eight Rows Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Nitida Wild Child 2016

Top Rose was the 2016 from Signal Gun while top MCC was the Blanc de Blanc 2016 from Durbanville Hills. A spectacular tasting from Durbanville. All the wines will be available for tasting this afternoon at the Cape Town Club 18 Queen Victoria Street from 4-7pm.
