Hermanuspietersfontein, Bloos 2024
You’ve probably heard of the quaint beach town of Hermanus, situated on South Africa’s famous Whale Coast. Between 1855 and 1902, it was called Hermanuspietersfontein. In 1902, the local postmaster decided to shorten the name of the town to make addressing letters to the locals easier.
150 years later, the wine farm Hermanuspietersfontein, or HPF for short, craft outstanding wines with a serious sense of place. Their grapes come from Sondagskloof, which competes with Elgin and the Ceres Plateau for South Africa’s coolest wine growing region.
‘Bloos’ is the Afrikaans word for blush, which describes the delicate pink hue of this wine. An approachable and fruit-forward rosé, thoughtfully blended from predominantly Malbec and Merlot to please all palates. A small portion is gently fermented in French oak, adding subtle depth and a creamy richness without diminishing its refreshing charm.
Enjoy inviting aromas of fresh watermelon, ripe blueberries, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, experience the perfect balance between bright freshness and silky texture, with a delightful creamy finish and effortless length.
Crafted for everyday pleasure, Bloos is best enjoyed immediately, capturing the spirit of carefree moments and easy-going gatherings.
