Tasting Notes

This bold statement wine is big on aroma and flavours. A combination of lemon and orange zest, yellow fleshy stone fruits, enlaced with hints of cinnamon and cardamom spice. Well balanced, soft in structure. A complex mlange of zesty citrus and ripe tropical fruit on the palate with a creamy and intense prolonged linger. Enjoy now but will age with much complexity for the next five to eight years.

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.

Vinification Details

Grapes were whole bunch pressed and the juice cold settled for two days. Natural fermentation started in stainless steel tanks. After about 2B was fermented naturally, selected yeast strains were added, and some of the juice was then transferred into French oak barrels for the remainder of the fermentation. Still on its primary lees, the wine matured for a further 10 months in barrel: 12% in first-fill and the balance in second-, third and fourth-fill barrels.
