Christian Eedes, South Africa’s well known wine critic, recommend our Adama White Blend 2010 in this months blind tasting in Wine magazine. Chairman’s score 18/20 for this exceptional blend of Chenin Blanc (60%), Chardonnay (20%), Pinot Gris (10%), Viognier (6%) and Semillon (4%). Juicy flavours of pineapple, passion fruit and quince is notable. Notes of spice carrying through to an exciting palate with a mineral finish.

The Adama wine started in 2007 with a beautiful Shiraz blend consisting of Shiraz (85%), Mourvèdre (10%), Primitivo (3%) and Viognier (2%). After creating a lot of excitement especially in the international market, and winning many awards, we have decided to find a suitable partner for the legendary Adama Red blend. It took us two years going back and forth with the blending and tasting of the White blends and after much pondering the Adama White Blend 2010 emerged in September this year.

The story behind the Adama Name

Adam Apollis, nicknamed Adama, was the legendary farm worker and forefather of the many descendants that today still live and work on the estate. Adama stands for generations of employer and employee working together with the same enthusiasm, respect and understanding for the vineyards and natures will. Thoroughly enjoyed by all and thus representing equal ground regardless of differences. The wine celebrates the co-ownership made possible through BEE (Black Economic Empowerment), the result of the Bosman Family and farm workers working together for generations.
