THE MICHELANGELO INTERNATIONAL WINE & SPIRITS AWARDS
The Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards was established in 1997 to offer South African producers the opportunity of having their wines adjudicated locally by a highly experienced and respected panel of professionals from around the globe.
Michelangelo remains unique in Africa, in that all judges are hand-picked wine experts, hailing from five different continents. Since the start of the competition in 1997, more than 298 individual judges from 53 countries have served on the panels.
