2006 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show - Trophy (93/100)
Veritas 2005 - Silver

in the vineyard : The grapes were harvested from 17 - 23 year old, cool south- and east-facing vineyards, situated on decomposed granite and loamy soils, 220m above sea level.

about the harvest: Harvested between 13th February and 8th March 2004.

in the cellar : After gentle pressing followed by cold-settling for 2 days, the juice was barrel- fermented in 228l second-fill Burgundy-shaped barrels, and matured â€œsur-lieâ€ in the barrel for 8 months with occasional â€œbatonageâ€ for added richness to the palate. To accentuate the fresh apple and citrus flavours, a 29% tank-fermented portion was blended in. The wine was bottled on 5th November 2004.
