The Fatal Seduction actor mentioned that it is exciting to have a product that is so worthy of the fuss, a product that, once people meet, changes their view. It begins with a great grape and a variety of them in the Nero grape.

“My partnership with the Bosmans is quite a beautiful story. I was touring the Winelands, meeting this family, and getting to know wines.

"At the same time, I was looking for a nice location for my idea, and then I met Petrus and Karla Bosman, who run the Bosman Family Vineyards business.

“It was such an amazing meeting, and they had this plan to introduce the new grape to the masses, and you know they told me about this grape, which is the Nero grape, and they secured a license to sell this grape outside its home in Sicily and the first to do so. This grape is a type of grape that grows in tough conditions.
