the centenary of KWV – which played the role of the “Ministry of
Winemaking” through most of the last century, and is one of the
biggest and most celebrated producers today! The latest exports
statistics demonstrate the continuing healthy growth of about 10% of
wine volumes shipped to Russia. Cape Wine, which is held once in
three years and is the biggest show of SA wines and also the most
successful wine exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere, is taking place
in Cape Town in September. There will be over 5 000 wines from more
than 300 wineries and this will definitely be another boost to the
success of South African wines on the world markets.
Aside from sampling wines at the participants’ exhibition stands, the Festival guests were
entertained by the seminar “News from the South African Vineyards” and the fun wine tasting
competition “Battlefield: South Africa 2.0”. Some bright colours were added to the event by the
fashion-show of the ethnical collection in the afroprint style «The voice of passion 2018/19 by
Kristina Adushkina & Mila Mironova»

The Festival organizers express the deepest gratitude to the South African winemakers and their
Russian partners, which participated in the Festival and made the invaluable contribution to the
promotion of the excellent South African product on this demanding market. Wine from South
Africa remains an exotic mystery for many Russian consumers. Thus, raising awareness and
improving the image of the SA brands are the tasks of paramount importance.
The next year is the big anniversary for the Festival: 10 years running! We are strongly hoping
to enter it with even bigger success and notable achievements!
Sincerely,
Vladimir Gorodkov
Festival Director
