Veritas annually honours a number of wine and brandy personalities for dedicating their lives to the highly enjoyable juice of the vine – for having done notably more than just plant vines and make wine or brandy.
During the recent 21st Veritas Awards 42 double gold and 158 gold medals were granted to outstanding wines and brandies from South Africa’s top cellars.
Wine and brandy makers from around the country have their sights set on South Africa’s two most prestigious industry competitions: the SA Young Wine and Veritas Awards, and closing dates for entries are imminent.
The election of Charles Hopkins as chairperson of the South African National Wine Show Association (SANWSA) during the recent Annual General Meeting of the Association heralds a new era not only for this extensive industry body, but also for the country’s two biggest and most influential wine competitions, the SA Young Wine Show and Veritas Awards.
