Scenting victory
2 August 2007
Gold for two Cape muscats in an
international competition
A
top ten place went to Rietvallei 1908 Muscadel 2003 (it’s the second
date in the confusing name that is the vintage!) in this year’s Muscats
du Monde competition, held in July in the muscat-oriented town of
Frontignan-la-Peyrade in France. Rietvallei was also a gold medallist
last year.
Gold
medals were awarded in 2007 to 25 wines (out of a total of 210 entered, from 23
countries), from France, Italy, Switzerland, Lebanon and Greece, as well
as South Africa. Another South African wine getting gold, in addition to
the Rietvallei, is the barrel-matured Monis Muscadel 2000. |
