AWARDS

Veritas 2007 - Bronze

ageing : These full-bodied wines are well-structured to show varietal character with rich, robust flavours, yet remain accessible and easy to drink with a soft palate, and in the case of the reds, to last for five to 10 years.

in the vineyard : Viticulturist: Henk van Graan
The grapes were sourced from trellised, dry land vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch Kloof, Devon Valley, Somerset West and Jonkershoek areas. Mostly south-west facing, they derive the maximum benefit from cooling maritime breezes to ensure slow ripening and concentrated fruit flavours.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand in February at between 24Â° and 25Â° Balling when fruit and tannins were fully ripened but the berries and skins were still firm. Each vineyard block was individually vinified.
