Bosman Magnum Opus Pinot Noir 2018

A complex nose with a combination of dark plums and blueberries with luscious hints of fruitcake. The oak lends more tertiary flavours but the core remains fruity with the generosity we have come to rely on from the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde.
A gentle opulence on the palate, lovely fine tannins and a generous finish.

The term ' magnum opus' describes a work of art, music or literature that is regarded as the most important or best work of art that an artist, composer or writer has produced. This wine, made with exquisite care from Pinot Noir vineyards grown in the coll reaches of the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, represents our best offering.
in the cellar : 90% of our intake was de- stemmed and crushed while the rest was whole-berry fermented. An initial cold soak at 10°C for 2 days allowed for good colour and a soft tannin structure. Fermentation lasted for 2 weeks at a cool 24°C, then macerated on the skins for another week before a gentle pressing. 16 months of barrel maturation followed, of which a third was in new French oak barrels.
