Boschendal 1685 Shiraz

Boschendal 1685 Shiraz
A classic South African Shiraz from two of the Cape's most renowned wine regions: Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. Fourteen months of barrel aging give it structure and depth.
Boschendal is one of South Africa's oldest wineries—founded in 1685, hence the name. The vineyards around Franschhoek benefit from the cool influence of the Atlantic, which gives the wines a fresh character despite the Mediterranean climate. Deliberately low yields ensure concentrated grapes.
Dark berry fruit on the palate: blackberry, black plum, a hint of clove. The 14 months in barrique impart subtle toasty notes and vanilla without overpowering the fruit. Medium to full-bodied, soft tannins, pleasantly long finish.
Serving suggestion: Serve at 16–18 °C. Pairs well with grilled lamb loin, beef brisket, or strong hard cheeses. Also a simple and enjoyable drink on its own.
