mehrere Informationen

The Boschendal Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon flows into the glass in deep and dark ruby and ensnares the nose with an enticing bouquet of ripe cherries, dark cassis, fragrant pencil shavings, cigar box and fine spices. The aromatic profile already sniffed out continues on the supple and full palate, where it combines beautifully with chalky tannins and a lush and well-textured mouthfeel. A superbly structured and powerful wine that holds a new discovery with each sip. While it offers rewarding drinking pleasure in its relative youth, this wine will continue to age well and develop more nuance and dimension over time. A picture-perfect example of the immense depth and length that make Stellenbosch Cabernet so appealing to discerning wine lovers. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The rigorous quality process that began in the vineyards continues in the cellar to ensure that no green berries are vinified. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks for about two weeks, with regular pumping over during this time to extract ripe, round tannins and intense color. Minimal intervention is key to the production of this wine, with the winemaker using as few processes as possible to preserve the wine's dense flavor and rich mouthfeel. To this end, the wine was only lightly filtered and was followed by 15-16 months of restrained wood aging in a combination of 30% new oak and older barrels, followed by bottle aging.
