Saurwein Om Pinot Noir 2023

R554.00

Om” symbolises the concept of universal creation. This word is also synonymous with peace. The vineyard is situated in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge region (Heaven and Earth), a beautiful and peaceful place close to the winemaker’s heart.

Grapes are hand-picked, hand-sorted, grapes are cold-soaked, fermentation is spontaneous, post-fermentation maceration is complete when the tannins are optimal, and the wine matured for 10 months in 228 liter French oak barrels (new and older). The approach is as minimal intervention as possible.

Red berry fruit, strawberries, red and black cherries, plums, and exotic spices on the nose. Results in an energetic, concentrated wine with a great fresh acidity and beautiful ageing potential.
