Bosman Fides Grenache Blanc 2019

Instead of simply tasting fruit or flowers this wine tastes of bruised apple, pot pouri and candied peel

It has a savoury finish which marries well with complex food flavours such as dim sum, sticky pork or even slow roasted lamb and can be served slightly less chilled than a conventional white to allow the oak flavours a chance to express themselves.

Although a rarity today, orange wines have been made for 6 000 years, originating in Georgia and Northern Italy. Yet the process is still the same: white grapes are fermented on their skins giving the wine a golden/orange colour and a complex texture, tannin and flavour. Corlea describes these wines as showing "the next level in fruit maturation".

The Bosman orange wine, Fides, is made from a single vineyard of Grenache Blanc which is naturally fermented. The name Fides is taken from the Bosman family motto: ;Fides, Spes et Amor' meaning Faith, Hope and Love.
in the vineyard : Bush vines planted in 2011 on decomposed granite soils on a vineyard named Kleinplasie.
in the cellar : Natural fermentation lasted 3 weeks on the grape skins with daily punch downs and pump-overs. The wine was then gently pressed, aged in 25% new Russian oak for 8 months prior to bottling.
