Product information "Bosman Fides Grenache Blanc 2018"
With a light golden amber colour in the glass, Bosman Fides Grenache Blanc has a seductive and complex scent of dried orange peel, marzipan and a certain waxy note. On the palate a light spice unfolds, which ends in an invigorating and stimulating freshness. A wine of great natural texture. The fine tannin adds a very distinct dimension to the wine. A fantastic new project of the Bosman Winery - a little-known grape variety with immense potential!
For the ancient Romans, the term "fides" in Latin carried the meaning of "trust", "confidence" and "fidelity". In the art of winemaking, this term has a great meaning both in the vineyard and in the cellar, since the relationship between the vine grower and the soil, climate and nature is based precisely on this "confidence" and "trust". A fitting name in the effort to create wines in the most natural way possible.

The hand-picked grapes were cooled overnight and completely destemmed the next morning. The natural fermentation started within 2 days and lasted for 4 weeks. After the four-week fermentation in the tank was completed, the wine was transferred to the basket press. 20% of the wine pressed here was put into Russian oak barrels, where the wine was allowed to mature for some time before it was blended with the other part and bottled.
