The Bosman family have a history of growing wine in the Bovlei of Wellington, dating back to 1810. Through eight generations they have worked hard to create a better life for all who live and work on the farm, rising to challenges and finding solutions, often in the unexpected.

Their approach is progressive and innovative: a plant improvement unit ensures that Bosman remains at the forefront of the development of new, clean plant material and varietals; while their vine nursery ensures a continuous supply of healthy rootstock and vines.

The business model is both holistic and inclusive, fostering self-worth and investing in the potential of everyone.

in the cellar : Two components of Chenin worth noting are: Firstly, the 1.7% Chenin made by drying the grapes in the sun for a week, before pressing and then fermenting. The component does add a small amount of residual sugar to the wine - but it primarily adds to the generosity of the flavour spectrum.
The second notable component of 3.7% skin contact adds texture and structure to the wine. Both components are utilized to add appeal in terms of its adaptability with food and food enjoyment.
