KWV WINEMAKER'S SELECTION
12TH EDITION
In every vintage, a handful of wines rise above the rest — not by chance, but through dedication,
craftsmanship, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Edition 12 brings these champions directly to your
doorstep: a curated collection of KWV wines honoured with some of the most respected accolades in the
world of wine.
From bold reds to refined whites and a beautifully crafted Cape Tawny, this edition features wines recognised at
South Africa’s most prestigious competitions — where only a select few achieve top honours.

KWV Mentors Canvas 2021
Double Gold – Veritas
A multi-dimensional and beautifully crafted red blend showing layered aromas of plum, raspberry and cherries.
Cassis and cinnamon unfold on the palate, supported by sweet tannins and a long, concentrated finish.
KWV Mentors Petit Verdot 2022
Double Gold – Veritas | Best Petit Verdot in South Africa – Platter’s
Intense and expressive with perfumed notes, cranberries and sweet spice. Black olives and aniseed add depth,
while rich flavours of plums and dark cherries drive a powerful palate. The well-integrated, grippy tannin
structure ensures a long, memorable finish.
Laborie Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Double Gold – Michelangelo Awards
Vibrant and aromatic with green pepper, cut grass and gooseberries. Passionfruit dominates the palate,
delivering a fresh, layered and beautifully fruit-driven finish.
Cathedral Cellar Pinotage 2022
Platinum – Michelangelo Awards
A refined, modern expression of Pinotage with blackcurrant, black cherries and plums supported by hints of
fruitcake and marzipan. Concentrated sweet fruit and well-integrated oak create a seamless palate framed by
silky smooth tannins.
Roodeberg Reserve 2021
Double Gold – Veritas
Rich aromas of blackcurrant and cassis introduce a palate of intense plum, mocha and warm spice.
Bold yet balanced, the fine tannin structure leads to a smooth, rounded finish.
KWV Classic Cape Tawny NV
Double Gold – Veritas
Orange zest, dried fruit, caramel and roasted pine nuts shape this expressive port-style wine.
The palate bursts with marzipan, toffee and sweet fruit, finishing with elegant balance. Serve chilled — ideal
before a meal or perfectly paired with cheese or chocolate after dinner.
