Armilla MCC triumphs at 2015 CSWWC

We are delighted to announce our success at the 2015 Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championship where our 2009 Armilla Blanc de Blanc MCC won Best South African Sparkling Wine overall and trophies for Best Blanc de Blanc MCC and Best Organic MCC. These three awards in one year make Armilla the most successful South African sparkling wine since the CSWWC began.

The Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships is a niche competition attracting some of the biggest names in the world of sparkling wines. It is the first and only terroir-driven competition judged exclusively by internationally renowned Champagne & Sparkling Wine experts. Open to effervescing wines of every style produced anywhere on the planet, all wines entered into the CSWWC are judged blind and evaluated strictly within the context of their origin and style.

We believe this international recognition of quality is testimony to our philosophy of handcrafting extraordinary wines and working in harmony with nature.

Armilla Blanc de Blanc MCC is available for purchase direct from Avondale here.
