The judging panel had to sift through more than 1 000 entries and was once again chaired by wine authority, Michael Fridjhon.
The Boschendal Jean Le Long Prestige Cuvée Blanc de Blanc 2007 is a pale gold with a flourish of tiny bubbles. On the nose it delivers enticing lemon cream, pink grapefruit and discreet almond biscotti aromas, while the intricate palate is detailed with a tight core of lemon and oranges. Rich roast nuts and a flattering minerality finish with extraordinary length, riveting freshness and complexity. The exquisite elegance you will expect from a Gold recipient at The Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show.
BOSCHENDAL, A TRULY MODERN WINE ESTATE
One of the most established and iconic wine estates in Stellenbosch, Boschendal has reinvented itself to appeal to a new generation of wine lovers. The estate has a farm-to-table approach to wine which encourages visitors to understand the origin of the wine, the winemaking process and taste the terroir in each glass.
Boschendal’s young winemakers are driving change by experimenting creatively while preserving traditional winemaking techniques to produce premium wines, such as the limited release Vin de Memoire Chardonnay and a range of contemporary wines, served exclusively at the Werf Restaurant.
While Boschendal exports to over 50 countries, the winemaking team endeavours to entice the palates of both international and local wine lovers with modern wines and welcomes all visitors to explore the farm, which has undergone a true metamorphosis with the addition of farm-to-table dining options, an abundant five-acre food garden and the philosophy of working sustainably with nature to produce real food.
