Simonsig won the trophy for Best Sparkling Wine with their Cuvee Royale 2003. Jean Daneel won the Best White Wine Trophy for his Signature Chenin Blanc 2006, Groot Constantia took the Best Red Wine Trophy for their Gouverneurs Shiraz 2006 and Klein Constantia's 2004 vintage of their iconic Vin de Constance won the Best Sweet Wine Trophy.

Organiser Christophe Durand commented on Chamonix's overall win saying, "Their consistency as an estate over the years has been amazing. I'm very happy with their victory and the outcome of this year's competition as a whole."

Winning wines were selected over three days of tasting, held at Mandela Rhodes Place. These were announced at a festive awards lunch at the Vineyard Hotel, where media, trade and the estate representatives could enjoy the winning wines.

Christophe Durand opened the ceremonies, and interestingly mentioned that the judges found Sauvignon Blanc entries the most disappointing. Southern Right was the only Sauvignon Blanc Gold Medal winner. Winning wineries came from a wide variety of areas, including Walker Bay, Napier, Tulbagh and the Cederberg amongst others.

For the first time this year, GQ Magazine presented three wines with the GQ Choice award. These were chosen from amongst the Gold Medal winners with quality, value-for-money and the average wine consumer in mind. Winners were Jean Daneel Signature Chenin Blanc 2006, Groot Constantia Pinotage 2007 and the Cape Chamonix Pinot Noir Reserve 2007.

The Classic Wine Trophy is unique in South Africa in that it only awards a set number of medals and trophies to ensure each medal winner meets the highest of standards.
