AWARDS
Veritas 2006 - Silver

ageing : Drinks well now, but will improve with 3 to 5 years in the bottle.
in the vineyard : The fruit of the wine is harvested from the most south easterly vineyard site in South Africa. This unique Garden Route viticultural site is producing some very exciting style South African wines. The Langkloof Valley is 710m above sea level and 20km from the Wilderness Lakes area of the Southern Cape Coast. Tucked up against the foot hills of the Outiniqua mountain range, this cool climate (average annual temp 15.5ºC) vineyards site with its privailing south easterly winds, allows for an unusually long ripening season. This allows us to harvest grapes with exceptional phenolic ripeness.
about the harvest: Grapes were picked and transported overnight (600km) to arrive cool at Fairview early morning.
