The grape grows in the volcanic soil of Sicily and was the perfect choice for Bosman as he was looking for a grape that would thrive despite the drought facing the Western Cape at the time."The special part about this grape is that it's just like an African person, it's a resilient grape because it grows in tough conditions. It's known as a fighter grape because it defies basic natural enemies like drought and insects sometimes.
So resilient is the grape that when Bosman returned from a trip to Sicily, after having bought 50 cuttings of it, only two remained but those two were enough to birth Nero.

You can imagine since 2011 not much was done with this grape except figure out how it grows and then eventually three-and-a-half years ago I walked into the picture and there is this grape that has been nurtured for so long and now ready to be given a try and then in walks Thapelo Mokoena."
The 37- year-old says that his joint venture with the Bosman family is something that aligned with him.
