Upper Hemel en Aarde Pinot Noir

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.

South Africa's 2022 grape harvest will be remembered as a cool season with moderate weather conditions which led to slower-than-usual ripening in most of South Africa's wine-producing regions. In some cases, delaying harvest with up to a week. White cultivars did extremely well, red wines tended to have red/more fruit driven profiles because of the cooler harvest.

Aged for 8 months in 15% new French Burgundian oak.

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.

The Bosman family have a history of growing wine in the Bovlei of Wellington, dating back to 1810. Throughout eight generations they have worked hard to create a better life for all who live and work on the farm, rising to challenges and finding solutions, often in the unexpected. Wine is made in their historic 260 year old cellar, but their approach is progressive and innovative: a plant improvement unit ensures that Bosman remains at the forefront of the development of new, clean plant material and varietals; while their vine nursery ensures a continuous supply of healthy rootstock and vines.
