Exciting highlights were reached at the stylish 32nd Veritas Awards, featuring another record number of medals to well-known brands, as well as novices, while the top trophy for the best wine entered for Veritas was clinched by the 2019 Tokara Reserve Collection Cabernet Sauvignon. This glamorous event was held in a marquee tent on the expansive lawn in front of the Nederburg Manor House. The results were met with great anticipation at an informal luncheon to the background of fine jazz music by Cape artists, where 103 Double Gold and 136 Gold awards were handed out. Other stars of the Veritas function were Distell, with seven Double Gold wines which include Nederburg’s five Double Gold medals as best cellar, followed by KWV, Spier, Kleine Zalze, and Wellington Wines close on their heels with four Double Gold each.
