Bosman ‘Generation 8’ Shiraz 2020

Bosman ‘Generation 8’ Shiraz 2020

Winemaking

Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed before fermentation onset. Pumpovers are utilized for colour extraction. Before the wine is totally finished with alcoholic Fermenta­tion, it is pressed to make sure that the tannin expression is fine and subtle. Matured for 6 months in contact with 15% new French oak creates a complex wine with supple tannins.

Tasting Notes

A garnet center with a purple rim. A confident wine with fine textures of spice, tobacco, new leather and refreshed with a plum finish. Fresh and medium-bodied.

Special Notes

Shiraz is one of the most widely planted red wine grape varieties in the world. It ripens late, so it needs hot, dry conditions such as those found in Spain from whence the grape most likely originated.

Wellington, with its long warm summers, is also the ideal terroir for this generous cultivar, and we are able to produce distinct and spicy wines from the cultivar.

This is a wine specifically for those who taste with a food-oriented palate. It is a light, fresh wine with loads of character.
