The South Africa Selection by CMB, presented by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles | CMB, will proudly hold its 3rd edition from the 26th to the 28th of October 2026 in the Robertson Wine Valley.

About the Robertson Wine Valley
Nestled along Route 62 in the Breede River Valley, between the Langeberg and Riviersonderend mountain ranges, the Robertson Wine Valley is one of South Africa’s leading quality wine regions. Its warm, dry climate and diverse soils, from lime-rich alluvial plains to calcareous, shale-based foothills, give the valley’s wines their distinctive character, with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Cap Classique among its standout varietals.

Why South Africa Selection by CMB?
While the international Concours Mondial de Bruxelles is geared towards global recognition and export market credibility, the South Africa Selection is specifically designed to drive impact within the local market. Wines are evaluated according to the same rigorous standards that underpin the global competition, but by a panel predominantly comprising influential South African wine professionals, buyers, distributors and journalists who understand the nuances of the local industry and consumer landscape. A medal from the South Africa Selection by CMB provides producers with a powerful endorsement that can enhance visibility, strengthen brand credibility and influence purchasing decisions in one of the world’s most competitive wine-producing nations. For wineries seeking to grow their presence and reputation at home, it represents an invaluable opportunity to stand out where it matters most.
