SURVIVOR Wines has claimed a stellar year of achievements! Selected as an ABSA Top 10 Pinotage finalist was a forerunner of what was to come. The Survivor Pinotage Reserve 2020
rose to the occasion, obtaining its first coveted 5* rating in the Platter’s by Diners Club South Africa Wine guide 2023. The recipients of its esteemed awards were announced last week,
featured in the 43rd edition of this collectable hardback guide, this year dressed in white. Featuring more than 8 000 locally produced wines, the Survivor Pinotage Reserve 2020 shares the Pinotage five-star podium with iconic heavyweights such at the Kanonkop Black Label 2020 and Kaapzicht Steytler Pinotage 2020, earmarking 2020 as an exceptional vintage for Pinotage. It also aorms SURVIVOR’s pursuit of excellence in showcasing terroir. Wines receiving the sought-after 5* rating in Platter’s must undergo a rigorous process of sighted and blind assessments by a team of experienced experts, attesting to the outstanding quality of a 4.5* achievement. As a result, all 5* achievers received at least 95, and 4.5* wines only narrowly missed 5*, earning 94 on the 100-point scale.
