Winemaking

The components are all handled separately and the Chenin is matured in 10% new French oak. Just before bottling the blend is made up, differing every year depending on the strengths if the components.

Tasting Notes

A crisp golden yellow heart which fades to the edges. White nectarine and slight green pineapple aromas are supported by a mixture of pithiness, almond and a touch of butterscotch. Generous flavours of stone fruit and marzipan develop in the glass while the finish is lively with mineral accents.

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.

The Chenin blanc comes from an organic vineyard called Spogblok (boastful vineyard) which was planted in 1980. The Grenache Blanc comes From higher elevations on decom­posed granite soils and finishes the blend with brightness and clarity.

This white blend reflects the cellar’s long-standing dedication to environmental and social sustainability which have 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 white wine, a blend of two 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.
