Revealing the impressive list of award winning wines for 2009, Allan Mullins, Cape Wine Master and Woolworths (high end South African retailer) Wine Selector, had this to say:

It takes a special kind of passion for wine, and a determination to keep sourcing, selecting and blending to come up with exceptional ranges of premium wines at the right prices. All the fantastic awards we have won this year show that Woolworths is fortunate to be in partnership with excellent winemakers who are as excited about innovation and quality as we are.
