BOSCHENDAL BLANC DE NOIR
R88,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Boschendal’s Blanc de Noir is special for its pioneering role — as “the original Cape Blanc de Noir-style wine that inspired an entire category.” The wine’s delicate salmon colour, balanced structure, and harmony of red fruit and crisp acidity make it a timeless, easy-to-enjoy classic that remains a staple on the Boschendal range.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Jamie Goode: 87/100
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Aromas of complex red berry fruit — strawberries, raspberries, and a soft summer perfume — define the bouquet.
Palate: On the palate, expect bright red fruit flavours (strawberry, red berries) with lively acidity, generous drinkability, and a crisp, dry character balanced by a gentle hint of fruit sweetness.
Finish: The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering note of red berry fruit and a subtle, well-balanced sweetness.
