“There is always something new, just around the corner, waiting to be discovered”
Margaret Fundira has been judging wine since 2001. Her passion for the beverage started with a degree in microbiology that specialised in winemaking. This led her to taking an active interest in judging. She has her Wine Judging Certificate from Stellenbosch and has judged on the National Young Wine Show and for the VERITAS awards, as well as for the Diners Club Winemaker of the Year competition and the ABSA Top 10 Pinotages. She is a technical advisor on the South African Wine Show Board. Margaret can’t highlight any outstanding moment in her wine career. “Basically, each great memory has prepared me for the next,” she says. “They are like stepping stones across a stream, with the journey being the best part; there is always something new, just around the corner, waiting to be discovered.” When not being active in the wine game, Margaret enjoys spending quality time unwinding with family and friends...
