AWARDS

2014 Veritas - Silver

in the vineyard : The grapes are from trellised vineyards that produce between 6-8 ton/ha.

about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness, with sugars of 24- 25ºB and acids above 5.6.

in the cellar : Prior to fermentation, the grapes were soaked for 2 days at 15°C to extract extra fruit flavours. Fermentation took place at temperatures between 23-25°C in stainless steel tanks with regular pump overs. After malolactic fermentation, we blended the best Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot to perfection.
The wine then went into French and American oak barrels for maturation of 12 months.
