Producer Information

Bosman Family Vineyards is situated on the farm Lelienfontein in Wellington in the Western Cape, South Africa. The farm produces wines for the local and export market, and is home to one of the most influential vine nurseries in Africa.The Bosman family have been practicing the art of grafting and growing wine, table and raisin grapes since 1888, initially for own use on their wine estate. Lelienfontein Vine Growers started when Petrus Bosman Senior sold his surplus vines for the first time in 1947. High-quality material was in short supply and it was his ambition to have a pedigree attached to each vine sold. In 2004, Bosman Family Vineyards imported Nero d’Avola plant material into South Africa. After two years in quarantine, only two vines survived. From this, the farm cultivated a vineyard by grafting Nero d’Avola onto established Cabernet Sauvignon rootstock. In 2014, the first bottling of Nero d’Avola was approved by the Wine and Spirits Board. The wine has been approved and noted in the Government Gazette and the first certified bottling of Nero d’Avola in South Africa was released at the annual Bosman Family Vineyards Release Celebration in November 2015.
