Boschendal, Grand Cuvée, Sauvignon Blanc 1685, 2024
Story
Nestled in one of the most picturesque valleys in the Cape winelands, lies Boschendal, one of South Africa 's original wine farms. With a winemaking tradition spanning over 300 years, Boschendal Wine Estate offers a veritable treat for wine lovers everywhere.
Tasting Notes
A fitting pairing for this Sauvignon Blanc is "Non più mesta" from Rossini’s La Cenerentola. Just as the wine bursts with tropical fruit and citrus, this aria radiates joy. The aria is full of sparkle, and lightness—much like the wine’s bright, zesty palate and uplifting finish. The lively rhythms and virtuosic vocal lines mirror the wine’s vibrant acidity and layered complexity, making this an ideal match of exuberance, elegance, and lingering delight.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, especially prawns or scallops, where its zesty acidity complements the sweetness of the shellfish. Thai dishes with lemongrass and lime work well, enhancing the freshness and balancing spice with its crisp, tropical notes.
Wine Maker’s Note
Grapes were sourced from cooler vineyards in the Coastal Region, where cool sea breezes helped develop vibrant varietal flavours and natural acidity. Careful vineyard practices, such as spur pruning and selective leaf removal, enhanced the tropical character of the grapes. Harvesting took place in the early morning at peak ripeness to preserve freshness and ensure crisp fruit expression in the wine.
