I am very glad to see that the strides made by South African winemakers are getting noticed by the international wine industry and media. This was the introduction to The Wall Street Journal’s Will Lyons’s article on South African wines at the London International Wine Fair:
“The South African wine stand is enormous this year at the London International Wine Fair. Their vignerons have high hopes for next month’s World Cup tournament which will see the world’s eyes fall upon them. I wish them well as their wines have improved immeasurably in recent years and there are now some very serious wineries worth looking out for.”
