Black Angus

Slow roasted Black Angus beef, smoked beef ribs and roasted leg of lamb.

This interesting and captivating wine is Shiraz-based with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot rounding off the blend. It is an evolution of the original “Estate Blend” that Boschendal launched in the 1980’s under the Grand Reserve label, with the introduction of other Bordeaux varietals now adding greater detail, style and sophistication. All the vineyards are situated in the Helderberg region of Stellenbosch, close to the cooling winds of the Atlantic. The Shiraz Base of the blend is situated on a South Westerly facing slope of the Helderberg facing straight onto False Bay. The Bordeaux styled varieties for the Black Angus are situated on the North-West-facing granite slopes of the Helderberg. These carefully selected sites yield some of the finest grapes in the region and are meticulously maintained.

Barrel maturation takes place in a combination of new (40%) and second- to fourth-fill 300-litre barrels for 14 months before the perfectly harmonious final blend is assembled. The final blend undergoes a further 6-10 months ageing in Foudre to gain additional complexity before being bottled in the luxurious Boschendal Heritage bottle.

The grapes were harvested by hand and carefully sorted upon arrival at the cellar to ensure that only the finest quality is vinified. Natural, hands-on winemaking of the different components, which are vinified separately, ensures optimum levels of inherent varietal expression, extraction and tannin.

Boschendal is nestled in one of the most picturesque valleys in the Cape wine lands, one of South Africas original wine farms eagerly awaits your arrival. With a wine making tradition spanning over 300 years, Boschendal Wine Estate offers a veritable treat for wine lovers everywhere. This gracious national treasure is a familiar favourite to many and a glorious discovery for countless others.
