Notes producer: Veritas is premium wine obtained from the local cultivar Vranec. It is produced with reduced yield of the vines. The removal of entire clusters leads to a significant concentration of the taste of the grapes which remains for harvest. It is rich with polyphenols (antioxidants), colored substances and specific aromatic compounds. Dark-ruby, strong color, corpulent, full bodied wine rich in extract. Wine with great potential for aging. — 10 years ago
