Description

Few places in the world can claim to have everything a wine lover could possibly 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.

The Sauvignon from the 1685 series of Boschendal is without a doubt, together with the Chardonnay and the Shiraz, 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 have been able to visit this, but certainly also because Boschendal has a style that is, with all due respect, a friend to all 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. In the meantime, ordering a bottle of Sauvignon with the blue capsule or cap is enough to know that this is the Boschendal 1685 Sauvignon Blanc Grande Cuvée.

This Boschendal 1685 Sauvignon Blanc Grande Cuvée is a Sauvignon Blanc with a small percentage of Semillon (92% Sauvignon Blanc and 8% Semillon) with aging entirely in stainless steel tanks, which gives the Sauvignon the freshness that it needs in this warmer climate compared to, for example, the Loire. In the glass, the wine has a light straw yellow color. In the nose we smell notes of herbs and tropical fruit with aromas of minerals and lime and green figs. These complex aromas lead to a creamy, harmonious taste with a long aftertaste full of minerals.
