Boschendal (Dutch: wood and dale) is one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa and is located between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch in South Africa's Western Cape.

 

The name Boschendal will ring sweetly in the ears of all wine-lovers!

 

The farm's title deeds are dated 1685.

 

The Boschendal estate is crowned by the original Cape Dutch manor house, which is open to visitors, together with associated restaurants and outbuildings and visitor attractions.

 

The vineyards at Boschendal cover 2.54 km² between Groot Drakenstein and Simonsberg, and include substantial plantings of Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc, together with recent plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz.

 

The winery is noted particularly for its high quality white wines.

 

I totally agree! Wow.

 

We tasted some and we found one to our taste that was SUPER.

 

One of South Africa’s oldest wine estates, Boschendal played an indelible role in the history of the Cape, to which many trace their roots.

 

The first owner was Jean le Long, one of 200 Huguenots who fled religious persecution in France.

 

He was granted land by the Dutch East India Company in 1688.

 

It changed hands many times over the years.

 

We brought back two bottles, that were a great palatable memory that Christmas and New Year.

 

 

Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
