Boschendal Estate Special Cuvee Nicolas 2018 (1x75cl)

Boschendal (literally meaning “Bush & Valley”) was established in 1685, making it one of the oldest wineries in the New World. Ideally situated between the iconic areas of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, this position allows for a variety of cultivars to flourish; showing great balance, complexity and varietal typicity. The estate is proud to carry WWF Conservation Champion status and is globally recognised for their biodiversity and sustainability practices. Boschendal has three separate cellars for the crafting of quality Cap Classique, White and Red wines; each with their own respective winemakers whom are dedicated to producing a number of South Africa’s most awarded wines. The Nicolas is an exceptional blend showcasing how skilled craftmanship can create a masterpiece greater than an individual component on their own. On the nose red cherries, fresh plums, mulberries and cassis are complimented by pencil-shavings, dark chocolate and spicy cigar box flavours. The complex and luscious aromas follow though onto the palate confirming the quality. A vibrant wine with smooth tannins, excellent length and timeless elegance. Whilst drinking excellently now, the Nicolas will develop further complexity with cellaring for up to 10 years. The wine pairs magnificently with a dry-aged sizzling steak or slow-cooked lamb shanks.
