Boschendal Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

A Cabernet Sauvignon from the Helderberg – one of the most renowned sites in the Stellenbosch region, where cool sea breezes from the Atlantic slow down ripening and condense the aromatic structure.

Boschendal is one of the oldest wineries in South Africa, founded in 1685 in the Franschhoek Valley. Today, the estate manages vineyards in several key locations of the Western Cape – including the Helderberg slopes in Stellenbosch, where the combination of granite soils and Atlantic influence is considered an ideal foundation for long-lived red wines.

In the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon shows dark cassis and blackberry, underscored by cedar wood and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is densely structured, with firmly integrated tannins and a fresh line of acidity that gives the wine contour and length. The finish is persistent, with spicy notes of black pepper and tobacco.

With potential for further development in the cellar. Serving temperature 17–18 °C. At the table, it pairs well with leg of lamb with rosemary, a hearty roast beef, or aged hard cheese like Manchego.
