The Boschendal Nicolas is an exceptional red blend showcasing the art of winemaking from the celebrated Western Cape region. This 750ml bottle is an intriguing blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and other Bordeaux varietals. Winemaker Jacques Viljoen creates a wine where the components are greater than the sum of their parts. Grapes are sourced from cool-climate vineyards in Stellenbosch and Elgin.
- Complex Blend: Combines the spice of Shiraz with the classical structure of Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Tasting Notes: Layers of red cherries, fresh plums, cassis, dark chocolate, and spicy cigar box appear.
- High Quality: Known for its smooth tannins, excellent length, and elegant finish.
- Top Acclaim: The wine consistently wins major awards, including Double Gold at the Michelangelo Awards (2023) and 91 Points in the Prescient Report (2025).
- Cellaring Potential: It is built for aging and will develop further complexity for up to 10 years.
The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure pristine quality. Maturation takes place over 14-16 months in 100% French oak barrels. The finished wine is vibrant and beautifully balanced. Boschendal Nicolas pairs magnificently with a dry-aged steak or slow-cooked lamb shank.
