Steeped in history and tradition, the 8th generation Bosman Family Vineyards is one of South Africa’s oldest and most established wineries.
Situated in the shadow of the Limiet Mountains near Wellington in the Western Cape, Bosman Family Vineyards continues to build upon a proud family legacy. Producing exceptional quality, hand-crafted wines from specially selected vineyards from their farms in Wellington, Hermon & Hermanus epitomizing their distinct values and the extraordinary place they call home.
The rich history of Bosman Family Vineyards is a testament to the family’s commitment to people, the land, and of course, the art of wine-making.
The Lelienfontein Estate, originally issued to French Huguenot, Philip de Royan in 1699 by then-Governor, Willem Adriaan van der Stel, was settled by the first generation of the family in 1798. The family’s first ancestor, Hermanus Bosman, was a sieketrooster (caregiver) who worked in the Cape and played a central role in community development and social upliftment. Bosman lived by the motto of the family crest: ‘faith, hope and love.’ His progressive thinking, desire to help his fellow man, and deep respect for the harmony of nature informed everything he did, and shaped the both the future of the farm and the generations who followed.
The Lelienfontein Estate produced wine up until 1957, when the family turned their focus to their vine nursery. In 2007, the Bosmans returned to the long-held family tradition and released the first wines from their newly renovated 260-year-old cellar.
Today, the descendants of Hermanus Bosman are proud custodians of both his land and his legacy, devoted to responsible, handcrafted winemaking.
This rose has more than 47 Varietals! The breadth of the varietals comes from the Bosman Vine Garden, a clone garden in a cooler climate region that is a “shopping block” for winemakers and viticulturists around South Africa. Vineyard blocks are harvested according to ripeness, and specifically with the intention to make this rose. The wine is naturally lower alcohol and displays freshness due to its natural acidity. Light, fresh, with loads of character, and a lovely bouquet.

Authentic Wine Selections, Accent de la Vigne Pinot Noir California (2016)
- Grape: Pinot Noir
- Geography: United States
It was my desire to create a brand that is eye-candy for the Francophile—it looks like an old bottle of Burgundy, yet it is domestic and affordable
VINIFICATION The fruit was destemmed and passed through a heat exchange to drop the temperature below 40 degrees F and prevent radical fermentation. After a 3 day cold soak the temperature is raised and yeas is added to start fermentation. Fermentation is temperature controlled to 80 degrees. Wine is then neutral oak aged for approximately 8 months.
WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES This is a very expressive wine aromatically, with lychee, cranberry, kola, raspberry, red cherries abounding with hints of cinnamon and clove, wildflower honey, and cacao. Flavors of red fruits including pomegranate are accented by wisps of cedar and a hint of leather. This wine has a bright, food-friendly profile.
FOOD PAIRING This wine will pair well with poached or grilled salmon, variety of pork dishes, poultry, and lamb.
