Information about "Boschendal Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2022"
The Boschendal Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon dazzles in a deep ruby hue, enticing the nose with an alluring bouquet of ripe cherries, dark cassis, aromatic pencil shavings, cigar box notes, and subtle spices. On the palate, this full-bodied wine reveals a smooth and rich texture that beautifully complements the aromatic profile. With chalky tannins and a well-structured framework, each sip unveils new layers of complexity. While rewarding in its youth, this wine promises to evolve gracefully, developing further nuances over time. It is a quintessential example of the remarkable depth and length that Stellenbosch Cabernet brings to discerning wine enthusiasts.
The rigorous quality process initiated in the vineyards continues in the cellar, ensuring no green berries are vinified. Fermentation took place over approximately two weeks in stainless steel tanks, with regular pump-overs to extract ripe, round tannins and vibrant color. Minimal interventions preserve the wine's dense flavor and rich mouthfeel, resulting in light filtration and subtle oak aging for 16-18 months in a mix of 30% new and older barrels followed by bottle maturation.
