Bobo Select Wines
Launched in 2017 as a distinct collection of natural wines within the larger T. Edward portfolio, Bobo Selections was born out of the desire for a little more vino veritas. The name Bobo was taken from ancient and modern environmentally-conscious Parisian movements. These values are reflected today in the mission to seek out "Bobo" wines that transmit the soul of their soils and the mentality of the artisans who made them.
