AWARDS
Veritas 2003 - Bronze
in the vineyard : The grapes were harvested from selected 18 year old south-facing vineyards, situated on decomposed granite and loamy soils 220m above sea level. Vertical hedge trellising and innovative canopy management techniques were used to enhance the intense flavours.

about the harvest: Harvested between the 3rd and 25th February 2003.

in the cellar : The grapes were destemmed before receiving 12 - 24 hours skin contact. After gentle pressing in a pneumatic "tank" press, the juice was settled for 24 hours before being racked and inoculated with selected yeast. Fermentation took place at between 12 - 16°C.
