Description
Only a few places in the world can claim to have everything a wine lover desires. Boschendal Estate is such a unique destination. This magnificent winery is located an hour's drive from Cape Town, in the picturesque Groot Drakenstein Valley, on the outskirts of Franschhoek.
The Shiraz from the 1685 series from Boschendal is without a doubt, together with the Sauvignon and the Chardonnay, one of the most popular wines in the Netherlands. This is certainly not only due to the impressive domain, the beautiful restaurant, the famous picnics for those who were able to visit this, but certainly also because Boschendal has a style that is everyone's friend with all due respect and we mean this very positively. They know how to create a tone, especially in the 1685 series with a balance in which everything is just right.
For this 1865 Shiraz, the Shiraz grapes have been aged in oak barrels for a relatively short time so that fruit remains but just that nice touch of toasted oak comes through without blowing away the luscious black fruit such as blackberry and currant. The 1865 Shuraz has a luscious taste in which concentrated mulberries and fleshy plums come into their own, alongside the white pepper and spicy wood notes. This Boschendal is a perfect accompaniment to grilled meat, duck, roasted lamb and dishes with rich sauces.
