ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mulderbosch Pinot Noir 2021 is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the producer's own vineyards in Stellenbosch. Following harvest, the wine undergoes an aging process of 18 months in neutral, 300-liter French barriques. This method of maturation is employed to allow for subtle integration and development of the wine's character without the dominant influence of new oak, aiming to preserve the inherent fruit qualities of the Pinot Noir grape. Mulderbosch Vineyards operates with a philosophy of innovation and a commitment to environmental harmony, as demonstrated by their participation in the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative.
