2006 Bosman Cabernet Sauvignon, Wellngton, South-Africa, Leliënfontein
The Bosman Family Vineyards are located near Wellington in the Paarl wine region, north of Stellenbosch. Since 1798 they have been producing wine here, formerly by the Leliënfontein Estate wines. In 1956 the Bosman family decided, however, to focus on seeding and cultivating vines and plants. In 2007, the family totally renovated the cellars and the production facilities. Back into service they decided to produce the wines under the name ‘Bosman Family Vineyards’. They aim for high quality wines and the new winemaker Carlea Fourie seems to succeed in this very well. Recently two of Bosman's wines obtained a place in the Top 100 South African Wines Challenge, also evaluated by several Masters of Wine.
All bush’ vines are harvested by hand, after which they are vinified using modern techniques to make pure and elegant wines. From 2009 the Bosman Family Vineyards is in possession of a Fairtrade certificate. Moreover, many employees of Bosman are co-owner of the estate through a unique program called ‘Black Economic Empowerment shares’.
Matured for 18 months in French oak.
