Local winery takes highest accolade at Veritas Awards

The 2015 Domaine des Dieux Hemel-en- Aarde Chardonnay has proven itself once again to be one of South Africa’s top Chardonnays when it received not only a Double Gold Award but also the Veritas Vertex Award at this year’s Veritas Gala Dinner, held at the Cape Town ICC on Friday 11 October.

Megan Parnell of Domaine des Dieux (second from left) and her husband, Shane Mullis (far right) were delighted to receive a Double Gold Award and the Veritas Vertex Award for the 2015 Domaine des Dieux Chardonnay at the Veritas Gala Dinner earlier this month.

“With the decision being made to enter only one Domaine des Dieux wine into the 2019 Veritas Awards, it is a great honour for this to be the chosen wine of the competition,” said Megan Parnell, general manager of Domaine des Dieux. “Consistency is always the best indicator of a superb wine and the 2015 Chardonnay follows a lineage of great vintages, with the 2014 receiving a record high 96 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards last year and the 2013 being rated in the Top 20 SA Chardonnays by Decanter.”

Domaine des Dieux can be contacted on 028 313 2126 or info@domainedesdieux.co.za. Their delightful tasting venue is open to the public and can be visited seven days a week from 11:00. Follow the R320 Hemel-en-Aarde Road towards Caledon and you’ll find the turn-off just after the entrance to their neighbours, Creation Wines.
