Wine of Origin Cape CoastThe grapes originated from high-quality vineyard sites around Stellenbosch, Elgin and the Swartland that were planted on a variety of soils, each specifically selected for its unique contribution to the final wine. A rich dark Crimson red colour. The nose presents notes of cherries, mulberries and plum and exotic spice and cloves. The palate is rich with black fruit and pepper spice, with a rounded and well integrated fruit core and silky ripe tannins. This wine shows elegant freshness and length with a lingering fruit on the finish.
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.
A portion of the grapes are fermented in open top stainless steel tanks. Manual punch downs of the skins were conducted to ensure a fine tannin and colour extraction. Matured in a combination of new and older French oak barrels for 12-14 months.

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.
