Om Pinot Noir 2023

It was a late vintage, with great ripening conditions and very healthy fruit. Saurwein Om Pinot Noir 2023 was picked in two batches from two vineyard sites just 100 meters from each other. The resultant wine from these two sites is energetic, concentrated and has a great fresh acidity and beautiful ageing potential.

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. May this wine carry forward the peace that its place of creation inspires.The grapes for this wine 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).

Tasting Notes: The wine is red fruited with lots of red berries, spices and some fynbos (wild herb character), fruit-coated and fine tannin and a crisp acidity. This wine has depth and intensity beyond the initial fruit and holds great aging potential. With time more savoury umami characters charm the drinker.

A vintage to stock up on! Alc: 13.5% Bottle Size: 750ml
