Bosman Family Vineyards

A subtle yet complex bouquet with cassis, red cherries, peony, fresh and wild strawberries. This is an elegant Pinot Noir, quite light in body, smooth with red fruits, vanilla and a lovely woody finish. The vineyard, close to the whale-watching resort of Hermanus, is in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde valley. The elevation and four kilometre-proximity to the sea make it ideal for cool climate Pinot Noir. De Bos farm was purchased in 2001 with the first vines planted in 2006. It now has 50 hectares of vines, 25 hectares of protea and 180 hectares of land under conservation management and offers floral and fynbos workshops and nature trails.
