This wine features a light salmon-pink hue, typical of the blend. On the nose, it offers fresh and delicate aromas of red berries such as strawberries and raspberries, complemented by notes of peach, citrus, and a hint of floral perfume. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity, presenting flavors of juicy red fruits, white peach, and a subtle minerality. The wine is refreshing and vibrant, with a clean and dry finish that leaves a lingering taste of citrus and stone fruit.

After harvesting, the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are gently pressed to extract the juice. The juice is then fermented separately at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit flavors and aromatic intensity. A small portion may undergo malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity and add a touch of creaminess. The two varietals are blended post-fermentation to achieve the desired balance and complexity.

The grapes for Boschendal Chardonnay/Pinot Noir are sourced from vineyards planted in cooler regions, benefiting from the maritime influence that helps maintain natural acidity and freshness. The Chardonnay grapes are selected for their crispness and citrus character, while the Pinot Noir provides the delicate red berry flavors and a hint of color. Sustainable farming practices are employed, focusing on minimal intervention and careful grape selection.

This versatile wine pairs well with a wide range of dishes, making it a great choice for various occasions. It is an excellent match for light salads, seafood dishes such as grilled prawns, salmon, or oysters, and poultry like roast chicken or turkey. It also complements soft cheeses, sushi, and other light appetizers. Its refreshing acidity makes it a perfect aperitif on its own.
