About the awards

Novare SA Terroir Wine Awards honours the wines which truly portray South Africa's different wine growing areas.

Terroir has been the 'buzzword' among wine aficionados for several years now. The basic concept is to discover wines that best reflect the terroir in which they are produced.

Since the strict rules of producing vineyards within a quota system in the certain areas were stopped many years ago, many agricultural sites have come to the fore as prime winegrowing areas.
