mehrere Informationen

The Hermanuspietersfontein Posmeester is named after the person who was responsible for the abbreviation of the place name Hermanuspietersfontein to Hermanus in 1902. But don't worry, the wine doesn't smell of ink, wax and paper, which you would expect from a postmaster, but very deliciously of red ripe fruits and fine spices. A wine that one can easily drink every day. Bordeaux style with soft tannins, an open structure and a fine balance between acidity and sweetness. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this delicious Bordeaux blend were subjected to a 3-4 day cold swelling phase before the fermentation process began. Fermentation then took place at a controlled temperature of 24-26°C in stainless steel tanks, with the different grape varieties all fermenting separately. Once fermentation was complete, the various wines were blended in stainless steel tanks and provided with French oak chips. The maturation with oak chips lasted 3-6 months. The wine matured for 12 months in the bottle before being released on the market.
