VERITAS 2020

5 VERITAS VERTEX AWARD

THE VERITAS VERTEX AWARD

The Board of Veritas decided in 2017 to name one wine as the overall cham- pion of the competition. This top accolade, known as the Veritas Vertex Award , takes its name from the Latin vertex , which means “highest point”. Vertex is sometimes also used to indicate the ‘top’ or ‘high point’ of some- thing, such as the vertex of an isosceles triangle, which is the ‘top’ corner opposite its base – which fits perfectly into the Veritas Awards notion of being the pinnacle of all the medals awarded. A panel of judges was nominated to taste all the Double Gold winning wines and to select the Veritas Vertex Award from them.

We are delighted to announce that the 2020Veritas Vertex Award goes to:
