Wine of Origin : Coastal Region (mostly Stellenbosch)Picked from 28-year-old bush vine vineyards which give low yields, resulting in concentration and intensity of flavour. Lively green with straw tinge. Expressive tropical fruit aromas, such as exotic mango, peach and pineapple with hints of limey citrus on the nose. A beautiful fruit core of peach-infused citrus characteristics and a hint of honey-glazed nuts. A well-balanced, full-bodied wine with a long, lingering 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.
The grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness during the coolness of early morning and sorted on arrival at the cellar
before pressing. The average sugar content of the grapes when picked was around 22–23°B, allowing for a ripe, full- bodied wine. 20% of the wine was fermented in Foudre and remained in these vessels post fermentation for a maximum of 6 weeks on the lees. This component broadens the mid-palate and gives a creamy weight. The juice was fermented with partial solids at 16°C, enhancing a rounded fullness of the wine. Bâtonnage, the stirring of the lees, took place weekly, which allowed for increased richness and complexity.

Vinification Details
The grapes were handpicked at full ripeness during the coolness of early morning. The average sugar content of the grapes was around 22-23°B, allowing for a ripe, full-bodied wine. Half of the juice was fermented with partial solids at 16°C, enhancing the rich, round fullness of the wine. The other half was fermented at a cooler 14°C in stainless steel tanks, preserving the delicate fruit flavours of the Chenin grapes. Bâtonnage took place weekly, which allowed for greater richness in the wine.
History
Boschendal winery is a unique destination. Only an hour's drive from Cape Town, this magnificent winery is situated in the picturesque Groot Drakenstein Valley, at the gateway to Franschhoek. Boschendal lays claim to a proud winemaking tradition stretching back to the late 17th century. From award winning wines to fine dining and exquisite grounds, this world class estate seamlessly blends its rich past with a tireless commitment to constant innovation.
Regional Information
The grapes were picked from 28-year-old bush vine vineyards with low yields and good quality fruit. The moisture stress in the vineyard resulted in tiny berries, allowing for concentrated flavours in the wine. The grapes were sourced from an area renowned for top quality Chenin in the Coastal region of the Cape.
