Wian Mouton and Gieliam Botma recently represented Bosman Adama at the PIWI International Symposium in Freiburg, Germany. The focus was on the breeding, viticulture, vinification and marketing of the PIWI winegrapes, the new crossbred, fungus resistance varietals.

These varietals require minimal chemical intervention to control damaging fungal diseases such as Downy and Powdery Mildew, and Black Rot yet still produce beautiful, well-balanced wines.

As the latest member of the PIWI International organisation, Bosman Adama serves as the gateway to the various breeders of these varieties, assisting them to import, evaluate and introduce the varieties to the South African wine industry.

SMALL DELIVERY, BIG STORY.🌱

Today our first batch of pistachio rootstock left the nursery for an evaluation site in Prieska, marking an exciting step for the Cultivar Management Division.

Although Bosman Adama is internationally known as a leading grapevine nursery, this division also supports IP holders across a range of crops, including promising newcomers like pistachios. These rootstocks reflect our commitment to responsible cultivar introduction and long‑term crop development in South Africa.

A new chapter guided by the same values that define us: Heritage, Sustainability and Innovation.

First container of 2026 … sealed and ready to go!

After a week of hard work, our team has packed and prepped thousands of dormant grapevines, now on their way to their new home in Egypt.

From South Africa to growers across four continents, Bosman Adama is proud to supply high quality grapevine plant material to vineyards around the world.

Here’s to another year of growth, partnerships, and thriving vineyards.

Let’s grow something exceptional together.🌱

Agter elke gesonde wingerdstok lê noukeurige laboratoriumwerk. Vir die volgende drie weke toets ons span honderde wingerd monsters vir die Netelblaar virus, ’n proses wat presisie in elke stap verg. Hierdie toetse gaan nie net oor voldoening aan die Plantverbeteringswet nie; dit is ons verbintenis aan jou.

Vir produsente beteken dit: virus getoetsde plantmateriaal, verminderde oesverliese en wingerde wat vir dekades floreer. Gesonde plantmateriaal beskerm jou belegging en die toekoms van Suid-Afrika se druiwebedryf, van wyn tot tafeldruiwe.

Gesonde wingerde begin hier. Goeie kwaliteit, gelewer op skaal.🌱

Om wingerdstokkies vir ons kliënte voor te berei, is ’n toegewyde taak. By Bosman Adama sien ons elke seisoen as ‘n kans om nóg beter te doen. Elke seisoen bring nuwe geleenthede om te toets, te leer en aan te pas.

Vanjaar toets ons verskillende tipes waks wat die entlas beskerm. Buiten die verskillende kleure, verskil die wakssoorte in chemiese samestelling ook in hoe hulle vog behou, temperatuur beheer en hormonale invloed. Al hierdie faktore speel ’n belangrike rol in hoe vinnig en gesond die bostok en onderstok saamgroei.

Wanneer ons deur die jong kwekerygronde stap en die helder waks kleure sien, word ons herinner aan ons visie: Toegewyd tot Beter.

As wingerdkwekery is ons trots daarop dat ons voortdurend streef na verbetering, sodat elke wingerdstokkie wat ons uitstuur, is sterk, gesond en vol potensiaal vir ons kliënte.🌱

Na ’n lang, nat winter is plantseisoen hier en in volle swang. Ons kliënte het hul geënte stokkies kom afhaal om nuwe wingerde regoor die Wes-Kaap, Oranjerivier en selfs in Namibië aan te plant.

By die Bosman Adama Kwekery werk ons egter reeds hard om volgende jaar se wingerde voor te berei. Alles begin met hoëgehalte plantmateriaal wat met die hand op filoksera-bestande onderstok geënt word, ’n vaardige tegniek wat al vir geslagte lank op ons plaas toegepas word.

Sodra dit geënt is, gaan die jong wingerdstok na die kalluskamers, waar dit die eerste vier weke in ’n beheerde omgewing deurbring sodat die entlas kan saamgroei.

Daarna volg Plant-tyd in die goed voorbereide, verweerde graniet grond, waar die stokkies die volgende nege maande deurbring om sterk en gesonde wortels en lote te ontwikkel.

Met byna 12 miljoen wingerd stokkies wat in meer as 350 kombinasies van onderstok en bostok geënt word, verseker ons dat elke kliënt die perfekte materiaal ontvang vir hul unieke ‘terroir’ vereistes.🌱

Wian Mouton, Head of Plant Improvement and IP Management at Bosman Adama, recently embarked on an insightful tour to Bakersfield, California, where he visited the breeding centers and commercial fields of leading table grape breeders. This trip underscored the dynamic landscape of the table grape industry, as breeders actively develop innovative genetics to address the evolving challenges faced by commercial growers.

During his visit, Wian observed firsthand the exciting advancements in breeding practices, which are crucial for enhancing the quality and resilience of table grapes. Recognizing the significance of these developments, particularly for Bosman Adama, which plays a pivotal role in distributing high-quality plant material globally, this responsibility extends beyond mere distribution; it encompasses the crucial aspects of healthy plant material production and the strategic management of propagation and distribution processes.

Wian’s experience reaffirms the importance of collaboration among breeders, growers, and service providers in driving progress within the industry. As the table grape sector continues to evolve, it is an exhilarating time to be involved in fostering innovation that meets the demands of both producers and consumers alike.
