2010-03-04
After a record 205 entries for the fourth annual SA Terroir Wine Awards, Bon Courage Estate from Robertson clearly made its mark by being one of the top achievers to have two national winners. Terroir is the international wine term for a specific winegrowing terrain and for this competition only wines made from grapes from a specific ward, estate or single vineyard could be entered. Bon Courage Estate delivered the Top Cabernet Sauvignon with the Bon Courage Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 and Top Colombard with the Bon Courage Andre’s Fame Colombard 2009. They also received the award for the Top White Blend in the Robertson district with the Bon Courage Gooseberry Bush 2009 (only for export) and the Top Dessert Wine in the district with the Bon Courage White Muscadel 2008. The limited release Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were carefully handpicked and selected from terroir specific vineyards to produce this premium wine. It was delicately oak matured for more complexity and has great ageing potential. The Colombard’s attraction lies in its fresh and lively character and is a delightful summer quaffer. Available from the estate and selected retail outlets throughout the country. Please contact us for more information. (The limited release Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon only to be released in November 2009)
