Bosman Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot Noir 2021

Rich, bright fresh berries, a slight earthiness and subtle spicy notes. Medium to full-bodied palate where soft tannins contribute to a fine structure. A balanced wine with a lingering, memorable finish.

A wine to have on its own or as an aperitif, but it pairs well with cured meats, salads and dishes such as seared tuna and roasted game.

In 2000 the Bosman family acquired a vineyard in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley which would supplement their offering with cool climate grapes. Here the vineyards are planted between fields of indigenous 'fynbos' and in close proximity to the sea. Ideal soil types combine with cooling sea breezes to create terroir rivalling the world's best; and resulting in wines with minerality, elegance, vivacity and finesse.

in the cellar : The cooled grapes were transported to our cellar where they were hand sorted, destemmed and gently crushed. Regular pump overs and punch downs during the 3 week fermentation and maturation process assured soft tannin and colour extraction. Aged for 12 months in 15% new French Burgundian oak.
