The Black Angus forms part of Boschendal’s top-tier Heritage Collection. This ultra-premium, Shiraz-led blend is named after Boschendal’s prized herd of Black Angus cattle and celebrates over three centuries of winemaking heritage on this iconic farm.

This interesting and captivating wine is Shiraz-based with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot rounding off the blend. It is an evolution of the original “Estate Blend” that Boschendal launched in the 1980’s under the Grand Reserve label, with the introduction of other Bordeaux varietals now adding greater detail, style and sophistication. All the vineyards are situated in the Helderberg region of Stellenbosch, close to the cooling winds of the Atlantic. The Shiraz Base of the blend is situated on a South Westerly facing slope of the Helderberg facing straight onto False Bay. The Bordeaux styled varieties for the Black Angus are situated on the North-West-facing granite slopes of the Helderberg. These carefully selected sites yield some of the finest grapes in the region and are meticulously maintained.

Tasting Note

The wine mesmerizes with a beautiful ruby colour, and first impression of berry and plum aromas layered with winter spice and roast cacao bean complexity. The entry is smooth and rich, leading to sumptuous ripe mulberry, black cherry and cassis flavours etched with black pepper and oak spice on the palate. The finish is long and moreish, with tremendous texture and lingering fruit concentration.

Shiraz 58%; Cab Sauv 23%; Cab Franc 10%; Malbec 7%; Petit Verdot 2%

Food Pairing

Slow roasted Black Angus beef, smoked beef ribs and roasted leg of lamb.

Wow, what a wine

Wow! So much tannins coating the mouth. Very powerful on the nose also. Red fruit, pepper, cigar, leather, bread. A very bold choice - requires a good cut of red meat.

Quite Delicious

Big wine, dominant Shiraz with added complexity from the Cab Franc component. Medium to full bodied with present yet well rounded tannins. Quite delicious (2015)

Possibly the Best

Possible one of the best balanced juicy with huge tannin and dark fruit flavours, pricey but we’ll worth the money

Friut Explosion

A fruit explosion nose. Cassis, cherries, vanilla, subtile tones of leather. Perfectly balanced sourness in the background of red fruit.

"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "

Great wine at a great time, everytime
