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.

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.
