Bosman Family Vineyards
The Bosman family have a history of growing wine in the Bovlei of Wellington, dating back to 1810. Throughout 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. Wine is made in their historic 260 year old cellar, but 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.
Description
Colour: Pale gold. Nose: A clean, elegant nose with hints of flint and lemon blossoms. Subtle aromas of raw almonds from the time spent in barrel. Palate: This cool climate wine has a crisp, linear acidity with notes of citrus and almonds and a lingering, minerally finish.
Food Pairing
The perfect accompaniment to grilled white fish dressed with lemon and olive oil; chicken roasted in herb-butter; smoked salmon and leek ravioli or a vegetable tart with a light pastry and Gruyère cheese.
