The 2007 Winemaster’s Reserve tied for second place in its category with another South African entrant, the 2006 Ken Forrester Wines “T” while the 2004 Private Bin S316 was placed third. First place went to Australia’s 2006 Tamar Ridge Botrytis Riesling. The wines filling the first three places in each category receive a gold medal. Local wines entered were up against offerings from Australia and New Zealand in the contest, chaired by renowned British wine critic Robert Joseph. The other judges were Australia’s James Halliday and Bob Campbell MW from New Zealand with Michael Fridjhon representing South Africa.
