WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bosman Family Organic Red Blend 2022 is produced using a method of vinifying each grape component separately. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes maturation in French oak barrels, with a portion (15%) being new oak. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in Wellington, Western Cape, with some Shiraz originating from Voor-Paardeberg. The producer maintains a plant improvement unit and vine nursery, reflecting an innovative approach to viticulture. The winery is committed to organic practices and holds Fairtrade certification.
