Bosman Family is one of South Africa’s oldest and most progressive winemaking families with extraordinary viticulture acumen and a long social and environmental responsibility history. In 2009 the 8 generation family gave 26% of the company to their employees as part of the largest land reform transaction in the history of the South African wine industry. For decades, they have had some of the most sought-after fruit in South Africa. In 2010 they reopened their 270-year-old winery to begin to produce their own wines again under respected winemaker Corlea Fourie.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
From extending ownership through a workers' trust to spearheading social projects in the farm community, 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.
Bosman Adama is an inclusive, transformed wine business. In 2009, 260 permanently employed workers received a 26% stake in the company, a significant role player in the Western Cape's vine and wine growing industry. To date, it is the largest land reform transaction in the history of the South African wine industry.
The mutual agreement between the Bosman family and the members of the Adama Trust is to continuously strive to create and implement projects that will build a sustainable future for the community and the environment they call home.
