About the report
The Tim Atkin South Africa Special Report is released just once a year and is by far the most in-depth report on the South African wine industry.
This year alone, Tim tasted 1,831 South African wines, travelling the country, visiting producers and assessing wines from across our winelands.
The full report runs to many thousands of words, offering an extraordinary depth of insight into our wines, producers and regions.
Tim Atkin MW is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities on South African wine, making his annual report, scores and selections enormously significant.
I was incredibly lucky and privileged to attend the Tim Atkin Wines of the Year Showcase on Tuesday, 1 September. It was a life changing event and evening, having the opportunity to taste through the full selection of wines scoring 95 points and above.
