What has been your proudest winemaking moment?

In all honesty, there have been many proud moments, there was a time when a lady at a recent wine show said “dis nou lekker wyn die” translation, this is a nice wine! I have also won a few awards but my proudest would be The Pichon Trophy – for the best-blended Redwine in the world ( Meerlust Rubicon 2001 ) and the renowned 2008 The Bilton – for the most expensive Red wine in South Africa (R3,000 per bottle)
