When you win something for the first time, there’s shock, awe and an overall out-of-body experience. But when you win something for the second time, you can really savour the moment.

Veritas is the oldest, largest and arguably the most prestigious competition in the industry. In 2013 the competition attracted 1792 entries and only 68 achieved Double Gold. This makes Veritas the one to win. A panel of 7 international and local judges taste the wine blind and if all seven agree that the wine is 18 points or more on a 20 point scale it receives Double Gold, by no means an easy feat.

There were only 4 Double Gold medals awarded to Bordeaux style blends in the Red Blends category out of 137 entries and The High Road Director’s Reserve 2010 was one of them.

“Recognition is a great by-product of making wine that we really love. Our style is elegant and balanced (no big fruit bombs here!)” – Nadine Roets, General Manager, The High Road

Public Tasting of the Veritas Double Gold and Gold Winners will take place in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth, George and Knysna. See www.veritas.co.za for more details.
