Boschendal
Winemaking at Boschendal dates back to 1685 when the property was acquired by Le Long and Lanoy, and flourished with the arrival of Abraham de Villiers. He was one of three brothers, the first acknowledged experts in viticulture to reach the Cape of Good Hope. As such they can be said to have introduced the French wine tradition into the Cape and the selection of Boschendal to apply their knowledge and skill was the first recognition of its special suitability for the culture of vines.
Today Boschendal produces a distinguished range of distinctive and elegant red, white and sparkling wines, much acclaimed by international connoisseurs -
1685 Range
This range honours Boschendal’s rich winemaking heritage, which dates back to the arrival of the French Huguenots in 1685.
The uniquely shaped 1685 bottle was created in 1985 to celebrate 300 years of wine making at Boschendal. These wines all express true varietal character, concentration of flavour and length on the palate, and perfectly match the bold shape of their bottle. A range of wines that reflect the quality and style which has become synonymous with Boschendal.
