Blaauwklippen Blending Competition 2024

The Blaauwklippen Blending Competition (BBC) has been running for 41 years. It must be the longest running blending competition in the world!

I was fortunate to attend this year's awards and the 4 finalists attended the lovely lunch which Blaauwklippen put on for them and a few media in attendance.

The 4 finalists were:

  • Die Dorstige Dertigs Wynproe Klub (Western Cape)
  • Fae-Bulous Wine Club (Gauteng)
  • Sophie’s Choice (Western Cape)
  • VATS (Gauteng)

The winning team was the Dorstige Dertigs, a very long-standing tasting group from Stellenbosch won the competition this year, after winning it last in 2000.

Kudos to them and to Blaauwklippen – a beautiful 1.5L bottle of the blend is the result of this year's blending competition.
