Competition Rules
- In order to enter, you have to have produced at least one vintage independently, although consultation from another source is allowed.
- Customized award labels are printed for the winner and carry her name and that of the estate/cellar, as well as the year in which the award is made. The winner of the title is thus eligible to apply these winning labels to all and any bottles of wine of which she was the independent producer - irrespective of current or future vintage or cellar. This also means that labels can be ordered in the future for future vintages produced by her.
- The winner will receive R25 000 prize money in cash and the Landbouweekblad Woman Winemaker of the Year Trophy.
Important:
All written communication issued by the winner's marketing or PR department/company to the press or otherwise during the 12 months following the award, should in all cases state the full and correct name of the award, namely the Landbouweekblad Woman Winemaker of the Year Award.
