Boschendal Lanoy
Please view wine facts for the current vintage below as the vintage on the image may vary.
Dark ruby with a lively pink rim; an attractive burst of mulberry, blackcurrant, ripe plum and spice aromas that carry through to a smooth juicy entry with succulent fruit flavours supported by astute ripe tannins and just discernible spicy oak intrigue. Well integrated and smooth with a lingering rich finish of dark berry fruit.

BOSCHENDAL (Since 1685)
*Boschendal selected wines are featured in 3 Michelin Star French Restaurant “Joel Robuchon” (Japan)*
The grapes were sourced from vineyards grown in a cross-section of regions and specifically selected for their fruit concentration and optimal varietal expression. These soils typically tended to be derived from decomposed granite and so-called Table Mountain sandstone. Vineyard tactics included pruning to two-bud spurs, shoot removal, bunch thinning, green harvesting and canopy management for best ripeness and quality.
The 2014 growing period was relatively hot, resulting in concentrated grapes with silky ripe tannins. Grapes were hand-harvested from mid-February to late March at an average ripeness of between 24–25°B.
Today Boschendal wines are enjoyed in more than 50 countries. The coveted South African Wine Producer of the Year Award that Boschendal brought home from The International Wine and Spirits Competition in London in 2004 benchmarks the global excellence of a brand born of pedigreed origins. Together with an outstanding winemaking team, Boschendal is destined to rise and amaze the world with every passing vintage.
