Wine of Origin : Cape CoastGrapes were sourced from cooler vineyards in the Coastal Region, mostly on higher altitude (150–400m) sites or veryclose to the ocean. Being exposed to cool afternoon sea breezes aided the accumulation of beautiful, expressivevarietal flavours in the berries and good natural acidity. The nose presents an abundance of tropical fruit flavours with hints of lime as well as a mélange of yellow and green tropical fruits with hints of citrus. A soft, full-bodied wine with a harmonious palate and coated acidity adding to the zesty, mineral finish. Good balance between acidity and structure, with a persistent lingering length.
The legend of Boschendal's wines reaches as far back as 1685, making this iconic Wine Estate one of the oldest in South Africa. Crafted to perfection, each sip encapsulates centuries of expertise and passion. Celebrate this remarkable journey with wines that stand the test of time. Mastery in Every Moment.
Vinification was reductive, which meant all air was excluded from the grape processing operation. This was done to protect the delicate varietal flavours. After fermentation, the wine was left on its primary lees, with regular stirring weekly for the first month. This process imparted a lovely roundness to the mid-palate.

Vinification Details
The grapes were hand-picked in the cool, early morning to capture the crisp fruit flavours. The wine was cool fermented to retain these flavours. A small portion of oak-matured Semillon was added to the blend to enhance the complexity of flavours.
History
Boschendal has a heritage dating back to 1685, when its French founders recognised the property's potential for wine-growing. Today, Boschendal maintains a rightful place as a winery of international distinction, consistently producing great wines.
Regional Information
The Coastal Region of the Cape is an ideal location for producing high quality wines. Breezes off the cool Atlantic Ocean temper the hot summer days to produce fruit ripeness and great wine flavours.
