AWARDS

Veritas 2006 - Silver

in the vineyard : The grapes for this wine were selected from two 15-year-old vineyards, located on the sunny, north-facing vineyards of Maastrict.

about the harvest: The grapes were picked by hand between 24Â° and 27Â° Balling during the latter half of April.

in the cellar : The must was fermented on the skins for seven days until dry and left on the skins for three weeks. Fermentation took place in closed stainless steel tanks. Maximum fruit, colour and tannin extraction from the skins was made possible through continuous computer-regulated pump-over cycles. The skins were removed from the juice immediately after the wine was fermented dry. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured for 12 months in small oak, using a combination of new and second-fill French oak.
