Boschendal 1685 Pinotage
Please view wine facts for the current vintage below as the vintage on the image may vary.
Rich, ripe and vibrant red and black currants, tobacco spice and plumbs with a juicy, savoury midpalate of fruit. A classic example of South Africa’s very own grape varietal.
The fruits are grown on high-quality sites around the Swartland, Durbanville and Stellenbosch. These dryland bush vines were selected to provide complexity, concentration and intensity. The cool climate and contrasting warmer sites express the truly unique terroir of South Africa.
