 [[Fleur du Cap]] was originally the name of one of a famous old wine farm in Somerset West and  a brand name used by [[Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery]]. This name was chosen as the name under which the former [[Three Leaf Arts Awards]] were to be made from 1979 onwards, when [[Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery]] and [[Distillers Corporation]] merged to form [[Distell]] and the [[Distell|Oude Meester Foundation for the Arts]] (later the [[Distell|Distell Arts and Culture]]) became the sponsors.
