Special Notes

The Adama blend is named after Adam Appollis, a visionary of his time and the forefather of many of the families that live and work on the farm today. He worked alongside Petrus Bosman’s great grandfather and grandfather, setting the foundations of what today is the Adama Workers’ Trust, a benchmark in transformation in the South African wine industry.

This red blend reflects the cellar’s long-standing dedication to environmental and social sustainability which has been part of the Bosman philosophy over many generations. Today the employees on the estate own a substantial share in the business via the Adama Workers’ Trust.

Adama is an innovative red wine boasting a skilful blend of unusual varietals that thrive in our local climate. It is an authentic rendition of elegant, modern winemaking, paying homage to the rich heritage of the families on the farm.
