Bosman Family Vineyards Erfenis 2019

Deep purple with a youthful, vibrant rim.Deep, concentrated aromas of blackberries and ripe plums, the oak lending integrated cigar box and spicy notes. The flavours develop well in the glass or by decanting.This much celebrated, judicious red blend shows complex secondary flavours accented by lovely spicy notes and velvety tannins. From the Cabernet, dark fruit and cigar box; from the Cinsaut, plummy fruit.

As a blend it is a wonderful wine to pair with a whole range of dishes from roasted duck to spicy meat dishes. A celebratory wine for special occasions.

As human beings we tend to define our lives in terms of great events. In 2010, to mark the birth of the first child of the next generation of the Bosman family, we endeavoured to make a red blend to celebrate and raise a flag to a bright future filled with hope. Only made in exceptional vintages, the Erfenis red blend is our polestar, our directing principle that commemorates, defines and sets a standard for the Bosman cellar.

in the vineyard : The components for this blend are from different sites in the Bovlei near Wellington.

about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked, hand-sorted, destemmed and lightly crushed.

in the cellar : The juice was allowed to cold macerate on the grape skins for two days prior to fermentation. After the onset thereof, regular pump overs and pump downs occurred for maximum colour extraction. The wine spent a month on the skins before being pressed. The components
are all treated and aged separately for 16 months. Each component undergoes a barrel selection, after which the wine is blended and aged for another 6 months before bottling.
