Boschendal Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

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

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

In the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon displays dark cassis and blackberry, underpinned by cedarwood and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is densely structured, with firmly integrated tannins and a fresh acidity that gives the wine definition and length. The finish is lingering, with spicy notes of black pepper and tobacco.

Drinking window: now until 2030, 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 mature hard cheeses such as Manchego.
