Boschendal 1685 Shiraz

The historic Boschendal Winery is one of South Africa’s oldest wineries and was founded as early as 1685 in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley. Today, Boschendal stands for a successful blend of historic winemaking tradition, modern cellar technology, and sustainable viticulture. With a clear focus on origin and quality, the estate produces wines full of character that impressively reflect the region’s terroir. The Boschendal 1685 Shiraz embodies this very philosophy, blending grapes from premier vineyards around Stellenbosch, Elgin, and the Swartland.

In the glass, the Boschendal 1685 Shiraz displays a deep, dark ruby red color. The bouquet is characterized by intense aromas of ripe dark fruits such as plums, black cherries, and blackberries, accompanied by a subtle peppery spice and delicate hints of spices. On the palate, the wine is powerful, juicy, and harmoniously balanced. A round fruit core, elegant spice, and silky, ripe tannins ensure a smooth mouthfeel and a long, fruit-forward finish.

The wine is crafted from carefully selected Shiraz grapes grown in premium vineyards. After harvest, the grapes are gently processed and fermented under temperature control to best preserve the variety’s characteristic fruit and spice. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, which imparts additional depth, structure, and harmonious tannin integration.

The Boschendal 1685 Shiraz is a versatile food pairing and goes exceptionally well with grilled or braised beef, lamb dishes, game, or spicy marinated grilled dishes. It also pairs beautifully with Mediterranean oven-baked dishes and aged hard cheeses. The ideal serving temperature is 16–18 °C.

Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch der Weinkeller von Boschendal, der heute aber natürlich mit modernster Technik ausgestattet ist.

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.

Cape Point Vineyards Isliedh
Dieser Wein hat in den vergangenen Jahren viele internationale Preise gewonnen. Unter anderem vom Decanter Magazine als „Best White Blend in the world over £15“ und 9 mal mit 5 Sternen von John Platter ausgezeichnet. Der zu 75% aus Sauvignon Blanc und zu 25% aus Semillon hergestellte Isliedh hat eine stark mineralische Note, die den Wein einzigartig als Essensbegleiter macht. Schon das Bouquet ist besonders komplex. Es zeigt florale Noten, sowie Aromen von Zitrone, reifem Obst, Marmelade und leichte Röstaromen. Am Gaumen ist der Isliedh von Cape Point Vineyard reichhaltig und lang. Der Wein schmeckt nach Pfirsich, Birne, Vanille, Backgewürz und zeigt einen Hauch von Ingwer, der lange im Abgang verweilt. Die Trauben für diesen herrlichen Wein stammen aus Noordhoek einer Gemeinde südlich von Kapstadt direkt am Atlantik. Die Reben sind einem ständig peitschendem Wind ausgesetzt, was kleine, aber sehr konzentrierte und gut strukturierte Ernten ergibt. Aufgrund der geringen Menge ist der Isleidh in jedem Jahr sehr schnell ausverkauft. Ein limitierter Wein, der das i-Tüpfchen für jedes gute Essen bedeutet.
