AWARDS

SAA First Class Certificate Winner 2003
Veritas 2003 - Double Gold

in the vineyard : As the Valley lies less than 20km from the False Bay coast, it is greatly affected by the cool south sea breezes, which prevail in the summer months. Winter brings on the moisture-laden northwest winds, which result in most of the Valleyâ€™s 750 mm of annual rainfall.
Soil: Deep red, decomposed Granite soil.
Trellising: Hedged (Perold system).

about the harvest: Yield: 4 â€“ 6 tonnes / ha

in the cellar : The grapes were selected and harvested by hand at 23.5Â°B. A pure yeast culture was added, during fermentation it was pumped over frequently until it was dry.
After malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine was racked twice before maturation in 300 litre new French oak barrels for 12 months.
Production: 3 600 X 750ml
