AWARDS

Veritas Gold ( 2013 )

in the vineyard : Gewürztraminer, Weisser Riesling and Muscat d’Alexandrie grapes were handpicked in the cool morning hours at between 22.3 and 23.9 °Balling.

in the cellar : After harvest, the grapes were cooled overnight to 10 ºC prior to vinification. The grapes were sorted, de-stemmed, crushed, pressed and allowed to cold settle for two days. The juice
of the three varieties were cold- fermented separately at 12 °C. The fermentation on the Muscat d’Alexandrie was stopped to retain natural grape sugars, whilst the Gewürztraminer and Riesling were allowed to ferment dry. The wine was blended so as to balance flavour, sweetness and acidity.
