Semillon's stake in gold

Stellenzicht Semillon Reserve, one of South Africa's top white wines, made from a single vineyard block on the slopes of the Helderberg outside Stellenbosch, has been awarded a gold medal for its 2004 vintage at the 2008 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show held recently. "It's great that this 2004 Semillon Reserve has now been recognised "officially" by the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show..." said winemaker, Guy Webber. "Having just returned from a two week-long excursion into Europe, where this particular wine was poured many times in different countries, it is clear to me that the quality and style of our Semillon Reserve is well accepted and respected by those 'in the know' in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany and Sweden."
