AWARDS

Veritas 2001 - Silver

in the vineyard : Spur pruning and the removal of unnecessary shoots left only the two to three best-developed shoots per spur. Two weeks before harvest, leaves were removed between bunches within the canopy, taking care that no grapes were exposed to direct sun in the process. This resulted in improved aeration in the bunch zone, ensuring the retention of flavours in the berries.

about the harvest: All grapes were hand-picked.

in the cellar : 40% of the wine was fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks and the remainder in 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd-fill barriques. This portion was kept on the primary lees for eight months. In order to preserve varietal fruit flavours, the wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation.
