Boschendal Wines

Das Weingut Boschendal ist eine der ältesten Weinfarmen der Neuen Welt und liegt mit seinen 3500 ha am Eingang zum Franchhoek-Tal zwischen Simonsberg und den Groot Drakenstein Bergen.

1685 wurde es dem Hugenotten Jeyn Lo Log gegründet. 1715 ging es in den Besitz der ebenfalls hugenottischen Brüder Pierre, Abrahm und Jaques de Villier über, die Boschendal zu Größe und Respekt verhalfen. Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch der Weinkeller von Boschendal, der heute aber natürlich mit modernster Technik ausgestattet ist.

Product recommendation

Simonsig Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz
Vibrant Ruby colour. An aromatic introduction to youthful fruits such as various red berries evokes the taste buds. Peeling through layers of primary fruit a subtle smokiness of fine wood integration completes the palate. Though youthful the tannins are well rounded and smooth ensuring this wine to be a superquaffer show stopper.

Spier Signature Shiraz
Of all the plantet grapes in South Africa, the shiraz, or syrah, as the French call him, is without a doubt one of the most successful. It has everything to do with the ideal climate of the Cape for this grape. Warm but not too hot, with a good cooling in the afternoon, which seems a bit like the Rhone region, where this wonderful grape originated. By a short fermentation process at low temperature it gets a strong character, with delicious fruit. Two thirds of the wine then matures about six to eight months in a mix of French and American oak, which makes it well rounded and gets it some extra complexity. That is why wood and fruit remain so perfectly balanced.
