WINE publisher commemorated in posthumous award

Harold Eedes, the late managing director of RamsayMedia and publisher of WINE, has been honoured by a trophy awarded in his name.

The Harold Eedes Trophy for the Best Chenin Blanc is one of the premier accolades at the annual Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show, considered to be among the most prestigious wine competitions in the country and founded nine years ago by WINE magazine and Michael Fridjhon.

WINE, under Harold’s stewardship, played a pivotal role in creating awareness of Chenin Blanc and promoting excellence in the category through the Chenin Blanc Challenge, a competition now in its 15th year.

Rijk’s Private Cellar in Tulbagh was the winner of the inaugural Harold Eedes Trophy at the 2010 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show.
