AWARDS

Veritas 2003 - Silver

ageing : Alluring in its youth but will reward those who resist temptation and explore the wineâ€™s maturation potential.

in the vineyard : 13-15 year old Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards. (Clones: CS163, CS27, CS14, CS46.) Situated on east and north-facing slopes between 200 and 240m above sea level.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested between 19th February and 1st March 2000.

in the cellar : Fermented in overhead retort-shaped, stainless steel fermentors. Pump-overs were done three times daily during fermentation. Extended maceration on the skins after fermentation. The use of gravity and gentle pressing ensure full-flavoured wines with soft, balanced tannins.
The wine was racked into barrels where it underwent Malo-lactic fermentation. After further racking it spent 18 months in new and used French oak barrels, before being lightly filtered prior to bottling.
