Bosman Fides Grenache Blanc 2022

Description

“Winemaking can become a seamless process where the aim is to eliminate any room for error,” says Cellar Master Corlea Fourie. “But then we stagnate, producing the same old, same old. So we are constantly trying something new here, using new practices and looking at ancient traditions and seeing how we can make something from that combination that is really good. And that’s where Fides comes in. The Bosman orange wine, Fides, is made from a single vineyard of Grenache Blanc which is naturally fermented on the skins. The name Fides is taken from the Bosman family motto: ‘Fides, Spes et Amor’ meaning Faith, Hope and Love. Fides reminds us of the faith necessary between people and nature to craft something truly remarkable. The wine has a savoury finish which marries well with complex food flavours such as dim sum, sticky pork or even creamy mussels and can be served slightly less chilled than a conventional white wine to allow the oak flavours a chance to express themselves.
