How does this wine taste?

How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.

The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.

How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.

How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Only a few places in the world can claim to have everything a wine lover could desire. Boschendal Estate is one such 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.

Boschendal's 1685 Pinotage is undoubtedly one of the most popular wines in the Netherlands, along with Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. This is certainly not only due to the impressive estate, the beautiful restaurant, and the famous picnics for those who have the opportunity to visit, but also because Boschendal has a style that, with all due respect, is a crowd-pleaser, and we mean this in a very positive way. They know how to create a tone, especially in the 1685 series, with a balance where everything simply works.

The Boschendal 1685 Pinotage is made from South Africa's own grape variety, and of course, this quintessential South African grape is a must-have in Boschendal's 1685 series. A full-bodied ruby-red wine with flavors of ripe red berries and plums. Intense aromas of sweet raspberry, blackberry, and spice give this wine complexity.

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. World famous is the Boschendal picnic and the famous lunch in the atmospheric restaurant. Reasons to visit the pearl of Franschhoek. The runner in our country is the Boschendal 1685 Sauvignon Blanc Grande Cuvée with the equally exciting bottle with the blue capsule.

The range offers many options: from the entry-level wines Boschen Blanc and Lanoy to the Elgin wines. This world-class estate mixes its rich past with new innovations. Each wine is carefully crafted to ensure unique drinking pleasure. It is the attention to detail that makes Boschendal a beloved wine in more than 50 countries.

The winemaking philosophy at Boschendal primarily takes into account the vast natural heritage. The vision is to balance tradition and experience with contemporary innovation to produce classic wines with a measured modern new world attitude that is uniquely Boschendal. The cornerstones of this philosophy are achieved through: producing premium wines where the emphasis is on flavor intensity and mouthfeel using a wood regimen for added intrigue before aging but never overpowering.

De 2022 Boschendal 1685 Pinotage toont een volle, robijnrode expressie met rijpe rode bessen en pruim, frisse framboos- en bramenaroma’s en een subtiele kruidigheid die voor complexiteit zorgt en door het zachte tannine en het alcoholpercentage van 14% lekker rond en warm aanvoelt. Deze smaakcombinatie vult varkensvlees, lam, charcuterie en gerechten van de barbecue prachtig aan omdat de zuren en tannines het vet snijden en de fruitige tonen samengaan met zowel hartige als licht zoete sauzen. Laat deze wijn extra goed tot zijn recht komen bij gegrild of langzaam geroosterd vlees met een kruidige rub of sticky glaze, bij gerookte smaken en bij een plank met gerijpte harde kazen en pittige charcuterie.
