AWARDS

Veritas 2005 - Bronze

ageing : The wine will reach full potential in two years.

in the vineyard : The vineyards are situated on the only south-facing portion of land on the property, planted at an altitude of 170 metres above sea-level. Grown in a combination of decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone, the 16-year old vines are now at full maturity. They were pruned at the end of August 2002 to maintain a yield of 4.82 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand in mid-February between 22,6Â° and 24,7Â° Balling and were destalked and crushed before separating the juice from the skins.

in the cellar : The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at between 14Â° and 16Â°C over two weeks. Lees contact was allowed for three months after completion of alcoholic fermentation, with a racking enabling the wine to clarify naturally for four weeks before bottling.
