Boschendal Wines

Das Weingut Boschendal ist eine der ältesten Weinfarmen der Neuen Welt und liegt mit seinen 3500 ha am Eingang zum Franchhoek-Tal zwischen Simonsberg und den Groot Drakenstein Bergen.

1685 wurde es dem Hugenotten Jeyn Lo Log gegründet. 1715 ging es in den Besitz der ebenfalls hugenottischen Brüder Pierre, Abrahm und Jaques de Villier über, die Boschendal zu Größe und Respekt verhalfen. Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch der Weinkeller von Boschendal, der heute aber natürlich mit modernster Technik ausgestattet ist.

Lanzerac Chardonnay
The grapes for the Lanzerac Chardonnay come from the estate’s various vineyards, of which the oldest are more than 20 years old. The blending of the grapes from the different vineyards has a positive impact on the wines’ complexity. The yield is less than 5 tons per hectare (1 hectare = approx. 2.47 acres). In order to only pick healthy and fully ripe grapes, the harvest was carried out by hand. Subsequently, the grapes were again selected by hand in the cellar. After cutting, the grapes were cooled down to 59 °F and pressed.The wine was fermented in barrels, of which 70% were 300-litre oak casks and 30% were stainless steel tanks. After 9 months, the two batches were blended. The Lanzerac Chardonnay is full-bodied and distinctive, offering aromas of citrus, ginger, vanilla and clover on the nose. On the palate, it shows a noticeable balance between fruit, acidity and softness. The finish is creamy and long-lasting. Thanks to its wonderful complexity, the Lanzerac Chardonnay goes beautifully with smoked salmon, sea bass or paella with seafood.
