A milestone moment for this noble cultivar was celebrated in style on 12 June 2025, as we gathered with some of South Africa's leading Muscadel producers in Paarl for the 20th Muskadel SA Awards. Hosted at the elegant Noop Restaurant in Paarl and sponsored by Vinochem, the awards saw eight producers walk away with a total of 11 accolades – two platinum and nine gold. Both younger and older vintages impressed the judges, with top-performing wines hailing from a range of regions. Click HERE to read the press release and see the results.
