John Skotnes was an artist, craftsman and jeweller, whose oeuvre included sculptures commissioned for public places as well as finely wrought jewellery in silver and gold. This unique combination of skills, together with a remarkable aesthetic vision, made him the ideal person to approach in 2002 to design the trophies for the Trophy Wine Show. When the Trophy Spirits Show was launched in 2019 there was no doubt about who should be commissioned to produce the trophies. His vision was integral to the image of the competitions. He remained involved and every year modelled, restored and arranged the engraving of the winners’ names ahead of the announcements of the shows’ resultsJohn died tragically on 28th December. His death is a great loss – to his family, to his vast circle of friends, and to the creative community of South Africa. We join them in mourning the passing of a great artist and a generous, warm and kind human being.Wine Wizard Investec 🎥Pierre van Zyl 📸Danie Nel Photography ... See MoreSee Less

Heidi Duminy CWM – Championing Uniquely South African Sparkling Wine

As we gear up for the epic Rugby Championship showdown between the Springboks and Wallabies this Saturday at Ellis Park, there’s no better time to celebrate what makes South Africa truly special – both on the rugby field and in the glass!

Our bottle-fermented sparkling wines are forging their own winning streak, highlighting the thoughtful blending and distinctive character that define our winemaking heritage. Just as our Bokke dominate at home, our Mèthode Cap Classiques are making their mark with a distinctly South African style and spirit.

Ready to toast victory? 🏉🥂

As Captain Siya Kolisi leads the charge in green and gold, let’s raise a glass to the passion, excellence, and uniquely South African magic that flows through everything we do – from Ellis Park to your wine glass!

#InvestecTWS2025 #CelebrateExcellence #StrongerTogether 🇿🇦

Sip responsibly and cheer loudly! @investec @winewizardsa @heidiv1ne

Niche red wines are becoming increasingly diverse—a sign of exciting evolution in South Africa’s wine culture. While Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot dominate our young wine market, these unique reds play a crucial role in expanding our horizons and growing the wine scene. Their appeal may be to a smaller audience for now, but offering these options is essential for the future.

It’s a challenging class to judge, searching for hidden gems, but the reward is undeniable. Keep an eye on varieties like Grenache - they’re set to become even more interesting as our wine culture matures. #investectws2025 #celebrateexcellence @investec @winewizardsa @port2portsa

“It was a privilege to judge the Cap Classique class—I never say no to bubbly”. This year, with approximately 38 entries, Cap Classique performed remarkably well.
While we often compare ourselves to Champagne, we shouldn’t.

Our Cap Classique is sophisticated, with refined bubbles and a true sense of place. Bright, fruity, and beautifully coloured, South African Cap Classique is something we should all be proud of. Mandla was truly impressed! #investectws2025 #celebrateexcellence @investec @winewizardsa @port2portsa

The Chenin Blanc class at this year’s Trophy Wine Show saw around 60 outstanding entries, making it a true highlight for the judges.
@christian.eedes among others, was especially pleased by the exceptional quality and diversity of the wines presented. It’s always a pleasure to judge, but this year’s lineup truly raised the bar for South African Chenin Blanc.#investectws2025 #celebrateexcellence @investec @winewizardsa @port2portsa

Judging at the Trophy Wine Show is a truly collaborative process - every panellist has a voice, and lively discussions influence the final results. Malu especially appreciated the chance to judge alongside international experts, bringing fresh perspectives and new insights to the table.

She found it an incredible learning experience, taking something unique from each judge and enjoying the shared passion for wine. Here’s to the power of conversation and the journey of discovery! #investectws2025 #celebrateexcellence @investec @winewizardsa @port2portsa

Eben recently judged the Sauvignon Blanc category for the first time - and found it super exciting! He noted how the use of oak uplifted the wines, adding depth while keeping them pure and elegant. This year’s lineup truly showcased the versatility and finesse of South African Sauvignon Blanc.

Cheers to new perspectives and outstanding wines! #investectws2025 @investec @winewizardsa @port2portsa

White Bordeaux blends are always a highlight at the Trophy Wine Show. Though a small category, these wines are absolutely world-class and spectacular. Their complexity can be challenging for the average consumer to grasp, but when paired with food, they truly come to life, revealing layers of flavour and finesse.

With an ageing potential of at least 8–10 years, these blends offer a journey of discovery for those willing to explore. Here’s to South Africa’s remarkable White Bordeaux blends - a treasure for wine lovers! #investectws2025 #celebrateexcellence @investec @winewizardsa @port2portsa
