Bosman ‘U.H.A’ Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Bosman ‘Upper Hemel-en-Aarde’ Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Winemaking

The hand-picked grapes were cooled overnight, then hand-sorted and destemmed, whereafter the pressed juice was left to settle. The following morning the settled juice was inoculated and fermented over an extended period of time at cool temperatures to ensure complex, compounded flavours. The different components are blended two months prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes

A pale straw heart with a lighter rim. A mélange of kiwi, green pear, gooseberries, fresh passionfruit, flint (as in mineral tones) and white fig. A vibrant, crisp acidity with some weight on the palate, and a long fruit packed finish.

Special Notes

In 2000 the 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.

From our elevated vineyards overlooking Walker Bay, on the foothills of the Babylonstoren Mountains. Two different vineyards, one called Murasie (ruin) and a second batch from our newest Sauvignon blanc vineyards called Appelboord.
