The Bosman Family have been vine growers in Wellington for 8 generations, their proud heritage forming the bedrock from which innovation and sustainability are a natural progression. The very first Bosman to arrive at the Cape of Good Hope was Hermanus Lambertus Bosman in 1707. The Bosman family produced wine on the estate up until 1957 when the family turned their focus to their vine nursery, propagating cuttings (or “stokkies”) for the Cape Wine industry.

In 2009, the eighth-generation family made history by transferring 26% of the company to their employees—marking the largest land reform transaction in the South African wine industry to date. For decades, Bosman has supplied some of the country’s most sought-after fruit. Then, in 2010, they proudly reopened their 270-year-old winery, beginning a new chapter of crafting wines under their own label, guided by the respected and visionary winemaker, Corlea Fourie.

Bosman Family Vineyards has long been a pioneer in uplifting the local wine industry with its innovative model that weaves environmental and social responsibility into the fabric of the business. They believe in the future of South Africa and its wine industry. In this, they are committed to producing wines of excellence both in their provenance and process by sustainably growing our community and our environment.
