Bosman Family Vineyards Erfenis 2017

Deep, concentrated aromas of blackberry and red fruit. The oak lends integrated spicy notes.
The flavours develop well in the glass or by decanting. Complex secondary flavours accented by lovely spicy notes from maturation in oak.

As a blend it is a wonderful wine to pair with a whole range of dishes from roasted duck to spicy meat dishes. A celebratory wine for special occasions.

Traditionally a 'flag ship' would carry the commander of the fleet and fly the flag. It was their largest and most important ship of the fleet. The Bosman Erfenis blend is our flagship.

The word 'Erfenis' means both heritage and legacy in English. Understanding our heritage informs our present and allows us to create a sustainable legacy.

It is a wine that commemorates, defines and sets a standard for the Bosman cellar, the Wellington region and the Cape Winelands at large. And it has earned the accolades to prove just that.

This wine is a blend of Cinsaut, Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d'Avola. The blend reflects our heritage of producing quality, Cinsaut in the Bovlei, our conviction that every good red blend needs Cabernet, and our own unique addition is Nero.

"We picked the top sites on our farm, and vinified the grapes with a premium goal," explains winemaker Corlea Fourie. "And we chose these varietals because the Cabernet contributes the concentrated heart of the wine, the Nero gives spice and the Cinsaut adds the delicate nuance that intrigues.
