AWARDS

Silver Veritas 2009

in the vineyard : This wine is cultivated in deep red, fertile Karoo soil. Irrigation can be below normal due to the excellent hygroscopicity of the soil. Vine canopies protect the grapes against direct sunlight and the grapes produce fruity and cherry flavours. Those clusters which ripen slower are removed beforehand for the remainder to develop a full flavour.

Cabernet Sauvignon prospers here because of the warm soil and the cool air, which plays over the vineyards after sunset. These two elements are the building blocks for exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon.

in the cellar : We endeavor to extract the fresh flavours of berries, mint and herbs from the grapes and complement these furthermore by means of wooden cask maturation. We find that some wood types advance the sweet tobacco-like, cedar-like and coffee-like flavours very effectively.
