A proud product of South Africa’s celebrated Western Cape, Boschendal 1685 Cabernet Sauvignon embodies centuries of winemaking heritage and terroir excellence. This expressive red wine is part of Boschendal’s premium 1685 range, named in honour of the estate’s founding year.
The grapes are carefully selected from top vineyards in the Helderberg and Stellenbosch regions—both renowned for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is matured for up to 14 months in a mix of French oak barrels, 30% of which are new, allowing it to develop rich complexity and smooth character.
Boschendal’s skilled winemakers use traditional and modern techniques to balance power and elegance in this vintage. The result is a structured, age-worthy wine perfect for dinner pairings or cellaring.
