Boschendal (literally meaning “Bush & Valley”) was established in 1685, making it one of the oldest wineries in the New World. Ideally situated between the iconic areas of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, this position allows for a variety of cultivars to flourish; showing great balance, complexity and varietal typicity. The estate is proud to carry WWF Conservation Champion status and is globally recognised for their biodiversity and sustainability practices. Boschendal has three separate cellars for the crafting of quality Cap Classique, White and Red wines; each with their own respective winemakers whom are dedicated to producing a number of South Africa’s most awarded wines.

The seductive pale gold colour, with a flourish of tiny bubbles, capture the imagination immediately, followed by enticing lemon cream, beeswax, pink grapefruit and toasty brioche aromas that persist onto an intricate palate. Here the beautiful citrus core of lemon and orange zest opens up, along with rich roast nuts and flattering minerality finishing with extraordinary length and freshness. The complex citrus flavours of this wine and its tinge of salty minerality will make you salivate for a culinary compliment. Try it with rich seafood such as seared scallops, grilled lobster and seafood risotto. Also goes well with terrines, jambon and aged hard cheeses.
