The Chardonnay Pinot Noir from Winery Boschendal is a highly interesting Cuvée! Part of the Chardonnay was aged in oak, giving the wine its backbone and a wonderful fullness with delightful aromas of ripe stone fruit and delicate pear.

The Pinot Noir, on the other hand, provides fruit and elegance, with very characteristic notes of ripe berries and a hint of spice.

The Boschendal 1685 Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2020 is with its delicate rosé hue and soft copper highlights a unique wine on every level. A wine created with special devotion that, thanks to the gentle use of oak, has wonderful aging potential. A true tasting experience of the finest finesse and elegance.

Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.

In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.

The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
