Success for Stellenbosch Vineyards at Ultra Value Wine Challenge 2016

Stellenbosch Vineyards is pleased to announce its recent success at the Ultra Value Wine Challenge 2016, receiving a selection of three gold and five silver awards for its value brands namely Welmoed, Versus and Arniston Bay.

Recognised for producing wines of good quality and value that are readily available to consumers, it verifies the Stellenbosch Vineyards promise of placing the consumer preferences first. “In the ever growing category of best-value, it remains critically important to offer quality wines at attractive prices. Even more so when considering the continuous rise in the cost of living. We continuously strive to offer our consumers quality wines that bring great drinking pleasure at an affordable price”, says Jeff Gradwell, Sales & Marketing Executive at Stellenbosch Vineyards.

Winemaking duo, Abraham de Villiers and Bernard Claassen comments, “At Stellenbosch Vineyards we are privileged to source grapes from the best vineyard blocks through our longstanding relationships with local grape growers. This enables us to produce great wines that appeals not only to the true wine connoisseur, but also to wine lovers merely seeking an easy-drinking experience. To receive this acknowledgement is a great honour.”
