Bosman ‘U.H.A’ Pinot Noir 2024

Bosman ‘Upper Hemel-en-Aarde’ Pinot Noir 2024

Winemaking

The grapes were hand-picked and cooled overnight, then hand-sorted and destemmed before entering the cellar. After five days of cold maceration on the skins, alcoholic fermentation was initiated. Regular pump-overs during the three-week fermentation assured soft tannins, increased flavour and a deeper colour. Wine was matured for six months in French oak barrels – 15% new oak.

Tasting Notes

The wine was matured for six months in French oak barrels – 15% new oak. Lively ruby red in colour. Bright red berries, with enticing hints of freshly dug earth and allspice. The nose translates beautifully on the palate with tart raspberry flavours, a silky elegance and a fresh, lingering finish.
