"My grandfather always spoke of the success he had with blending his wines, which was mainly Hermitage/Cinsaut, with the relatively new Cabernet Sauvignon from the "Kabinet blok" (so named by the workers). He was convinced that the quality of the Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bovlei vineyards could lift the quality of the whole harvest..." CEO and 8th generation Petrus Bosman on the heritage of Cabernet Sauvignon on the Bosman Adama farms.

Our vineyards lie in the shadow of the Limiet Mountain range on the south facing slopes of the Groenberg which limits direct sunlight and therefore slows ripening. The yield of these vineyards is limited by the effect of southerly winds throughout the summer, resulting in smaller berries and a gentler ripening period.

in the vineyard : From vineyards planted on deep red shale soils, and others planted on decomposed granite. This gives us a wonderful blend of rich succulent fruit characters and a lean minerality.

in the cellar : The berries are sorted before cold soaking, then the must is kept cool for two days followed by fermentation at relatively low temperatures. Punch-downs and pump-overs make for good colour extraction where after the wine spends 18 months maturing in small French oak barrels.
