At a glamorous Veritas Black Tie awards dinner held on the 5th
of October at the CTICC, The High Road was awarded their SECOND Double Gold Veritas
medal in 4 years for Director’s Reserve 2010.
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
