On Friday April 26, one day after the announcement of the winners of the 2024 Sauvignon Selection by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles (CMB), Sauvignon Blanc South Africa will host an Austrian Sauvignon Blanc Feast at Kleine Zalze vineyards in Stellenbosch, from 5pm to 7.30pm

Guests will be treated to Austrian Sauvignon Blanc from the acclaimed Südsteiermark and beyond, including gold and silver medal winners, awarded at the 2023 Sauvignon Selection by CMB (previously Concours Mondial du Sauvignon) which was hosted in South Africa in March 2023.

From 1 210 entries from across the globe, Austria took top honours in this competition, garnering 85 medals – 45 gold and 40 silver – as well as the Dubourdieu Trophy for the best Sauvignon in the competition awarded to Sauvignon Blanc Sieme Eichberg by the Adam-Lieleg winery from Steiermark.

Five food stands will feature chef Nic van Wyk’s take on authentic cuisine from the culinary heart of Central Europe, with ‘Wiener schnitzel’, Austrian mac and cheese, or ‘käsespätzle’, the traditional pan dish ‘gröstl’, a ‘brettljause’ cheese and meat platter, as well as ‘apfelstrudel’ on the menu.
