HOW TO STORE WINE AT HOME: 7 TIPSOne of the great pleasures of learning about and enjoying wine is curating a wine collection that is personal to your tastes. But choosing and buying wines are only part of the process: they also have to be stored. When preserved correctly, wine can last for decades, even centuries, growing in value and quality. But poor storage can spoil even the greatest wines in the world.Read more on MasterClass - https://masterclass.com/articles/how-to-properly-store-wine-at-home/…#VeritasAwards #ExperienceExcellence #Wine #WineStorage ...

🍷 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CABERNET SAUVIGNON DAY 🍷Cabernet Sauvignon is South Africa’s most widely planted red grape and third most-planted variety overall – 10,087ha were in the ground by the end of 2019, equivalent to 11% of the national vineyard. It has been around since the late part of the 19th century and traditionally made South Africa’s most prestigious reds. That said, one of the reasons it is so ubiquitous is because of how adaptable it is, retaining a recognisable character even when planted in less suitable locations.Read more on Decanter - http://bitly.ws/ggKH📷 Watson's Wine#VeritasAwards #ExperienceExcellence #CabernetSauvignonDay #Wine #ThirstyThursday ...

VERITAS AWARDS JUDGING SYSTEMThe judging system for the #VeritasAwards has been described as one of the most thorough in the industry. Judging panels are representative of the entire wine industry and include winemakers, distillers, researchers, academics and merchants and are compiled in collaboration with the relevant cultivar work groups.All the judges are required to have a wine judging certificate from the Stellenbosch University, a Institute of Cape Wine Masters Diploma or a similar accreditation. Wines and brandies are tasted blind by panels that consist of three experts (in 2020) judging 10 wines at a time. Scores are awarded according to the international 100-point scale, without discussion. A Double Gold medal is awarded through a consensus decision by the panel if the wine/brandy scores 93 or more out of 100. Gold is awarded when a wine/brandy notches-up 90 to 92,9 points, a silver outstanding sticker will go on a bottle of wine/brandy if the wine scored 86 to 89,9 points, a silver sticker will go on a bottle of wine/brandy if the wine scored 80 to 85,9 points, while bronze medals go to wines/brandies that scored 75 to 79,9 points. The integrity of Veritas’ judges is undisputable and the whole judging process is audited through independent auditorsThe 2021 Veritas Awards judging will take place from Monday, 13 to Friday, 17 September.#ExperienceExcellence #Wine #WineWednesday #WineJudging ...

WHAT IS A CAP CLASSIQUE?Cap Classique sparklers are a premium category of South African sparkling wines. It’s a generic term for any wine in the Cape that is produced by the traditional method, that is, in the same way as Champagne. To distinguish them from other, invariably less expensive, ways of getting the bubble in the bottle, Cap Classique will be on the label - known as South Africa's premium bubbly.Read more http://www.winewisdom.com/articles/regional-profiles/cap-classique-south-africas-premium-bubbly/ 📷 - https://theconversation.com/africa#VeritasAwards #ExperienceExcellence #WineTerms #Wine ...

THE INCEPTION OF THE #VeritasAwards The South African National Wine Show Association (SANWSA), that represents the full spectrum of the wine industry, was tasked at the end of the 1980’s to investigate a wine show aimed at the consumer. The result was the introduction of the first National Bottled Wine Show in South Africa in 1990 and renamed the Veritas Awards from 1991. In its first year in 1991, 96 wineries participated and 801 wines were entered with 74 Double Gold and 134 Gold wines. Five years later the entries hit the 1 000 mark and by 2007 there were 327 participants and 1 904 wines were judged. Brandy was added as a category in 2010 to also award the finest standard and pot still brandies of world class standards that are produced in South Africa.
