Ripened in Cape sunshine and cooled by coastal breezes, this is a rich, ripe Pinot Gris with a floral lift too. It’s from the Bosman family, whose history in South Africa goes back a phenomenal eight generations and over 300 years. First to arrive in South Africa, in 1707, was Hermanus Bosman, who brought with him medical, religious and legal know-how. He set the bar for all future generations – to respect both the community and the land. In 2008 the Bosmans gave all of their 260 workers a share in the estate, thereby becoming Fairtrade. They’ve shown their love for the land by cultivating the finest vine stocks and today can boast 47 varieties. This Pinot Gris is from cooler sites to lend the ripe orchard fruit zippy freshness.
