At Tierkat, we believe that everyone should have access to a great-tasting glass of wine without breaking the bank. That's why we've scoured the country to bring you the best entry-level wines that deliver on both flavor and value. Our panel of judges tastes every bottle to ensure that only the smoothest and most easy-drinking options make the cut
Don't let the price tag fool you – our winning wines may be affordable, but they're anything but cheap. From crisp whites to full-bodied reds, we've got something to suit every palate and occasion. So why not treat yourself to a glass (or two!) of our award-winning wines tonight?
Tierkat is a wine awards competition that celebrates affordable yet enjoyable wines. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy a great glass of wine, regardless of their budget. That's why we only award wines that are both high-quality and reasonably priced.

About the folks running around behind the screens

Tierkat was founded in 2023 by a group of wine enthusiasts who are passionate and enthusiastic about finding great wines at a good price. We believe that there are many amazing wines out there that are being overlooked simply because they are not as expensive as some of the more well-known brands. We want to change that by shining a spotlight on these hidden gems and helping people to discover new wines that they love.
Our judging process is rigorous and unbiased. We only accept wines that have been submitted by wineries that meet our high standards of quality and affordability. Our judges are people who are passionate about finding the best wines that South Africa has to offer.
Winning a Tierkat Award is a great way to get your wine noticed by the wine industry and consumers alike. It is a badge of honor that shows that your wine is of the highest quality and that it is a great value for money. Winning a Tierkat Award can also help you to increase sales and reach new customers.
