Upper Hemel en Aarde Sauvignon Blanc

An ideal aperitif but it also pairs well with a green vegetable medley, seafood, goat's cheese or crisp salads.

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 cultivar's did extremely well, red wines tended to have red/more fruit driven profiles because of the cooler harvest.

The cooled grapes are hand sorted, destemmed and pressed to settle and clear overnight. The settled juice is then inoculated and fermented at cool temperatures to ensure complex compounded flavours that develop over an extended fermented period. Components are blended two months prior to bottling.

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.
