Boschendal Wines

Set in the Drakenstein Valley surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes, lush gardens and vines, the original farmstead complex is now a national monument with a rich and intriguing history of more than 300 years. Today, Boschendal is a Cape winelands icon and an acclaimed wine and food destination. Our vineyards and fruit trees have been joined by vegetable gardens and a growing herd of free range, 100% pasture fed Angus cattle reflecting our commitment to serving wholesome farm-to-table food.

Boschendal
1685 Cabernet Sauvignon

A powerful wine showing varietal character combining dark red and black fruit. The primary impression on the nose is ripe black fruit with subtle oak spice and herbs, yet vibrancy and depth in its fruit expression.

Boschendal
1685 Chardonnay

Big on aroma and flavours, combining a lemony, cinnamon, nutmeg nose with zesty citrus and ripe tropical fruit on the palate. Well balanced, the soft, buttery character adds to the complexity and roundness of the wine.

Boschendal
1685 Merlot

The vineyards for this Merlot ranged in age from seven to 25 years old and were planted on a variety of soils. Rich red cherry plum and pronounced ripe mulberry flavours show on the palate. An elegant intimate style wine.

Boschendal
1685 Sauvignon Blanc

This straw-coloured wine has an aroma of herbs and tropical fruit, with hints of lime and green fig. These complex flavours carry through to the creamy, harmonious palate adding to the mineral zesty finish. A soft, full-bodied wine with a harmonious palate and coated acidity adding to the zesty, mineral finish.

Boschendal
1685 Shiraz

Generous, deep black fruit and riper vintage fruit expression with pepper spice. Richness and juiciness with a round, integrated fruit core and silky ripe tannins. Shows elegant freshness and length with lingering fruit on the finish.

Boschendal
1685 Pinotage

Rich, ripe and vibrant red and black currants, tobacco spice and plumbs with a juicy, savoury mid-palate of fruit. A classic example of South Africa’s very own grape variety.

Boschendal
Boschen Blanc

Lively golden with a youthful green glow on appearance, before a flourish of gorgeous peachy, pineapple, pear and Cape gooseberry aromas tinged with feint honeysuckle, lemon and orange blossom fragrances that all translate with freshness and zeal on a lively, fruity palate, beautifully balanced for great drinkability.

Boschendal
Lanoy Cab/Sav/Met

A classic Bordeaux styled blend intended for immediate drinking. We recommend best enjoyment within a year or two of vintage whilst young and vibrant, although the weight and concentration will allow for up to 5 years in the bottle.

Boschendal
Le Bouquet

Glistening gold with a flourish of fruity and floral fragrances including pink lady apples, litchi, papaya, roses and honeysuckle that blossom on a mouth-filling sumptuous palate brimming with juicy pear, peach and ripe citrus flavours all perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness and a fresh, fruity finish.

Boschendal
The Rose Garden

Attractive soft pink with enticing crushed raspberry, ripe strawberry, red cherry and a floral hint of rose petal on the nose that carries through to a lively mouthful of summer berries finishing with juicy succulence. Well balanced with tremendous fruity friendliness although still fresh and dry.

Boschendal
Blanc De Noir

A real Boschendal classic styled for immediate drinking. We recommend best enjoyment within a year of vintage whilst young and lively, although the weight and concentration will allow for up to 3 years in the bottle.

Boschendal
Larone

Great ruby depth of colour with a youthful pink rim; generous dark berry aromas including black cherry, mulberry and ripe plum, brushed with savoury oak spice and intriguing etchings of minerality on the nose, yielding to a soft supple entry with overtly fruity flavour intensity well supported by firm ripe tannins.

Boschendal
MCC Demi Sec

A flourish of delicate bubbles brings forth the decadent crème brulee and almond Biscotti deliciousness, balanced with alluring lemon cream and orange peel to finish with vibrant freshness and length. Maturation on the lees provides a wellrounded creamy mouth-feel with appetizing minerality, good balance and a seamless finish. Enjoy well chilled as a glamorous touch to any occasion. The hint of sweetness in this MCC makes it the perfect match for aromatic curries such as Indian butter chicken, or decadent delights such as sticky honey nougat or pecan pie with good vanilla ice cream
