Boschendal Grand Cuvée Grande Brut Vintage 750ml

Cool climate sites are hand selected based on the topographical information for each specific vineyard block. This Grand Cuvee is selected from the two most prestigious Elgin sites, one block lies at an altitude of 225m and the other site is at a startling 390m above sea level. The high altitude from these Elgin sites combined with the less severe fluctuations between night and day temperatures ensure a cool and slow ripening of the beautiful bunches - ensuring concentration of flavour and acid. Shale soils also assist in the development and encapsulation of the minerality we so deeply appreciate from this Elgin terroir.

Winemaker’s Tasting Notes

Fresh green apple and hints of citrus supported by discreet almond biscotti and brioche typical to classic bottle fermented sparkling wine style. Extended lees contact gives a full and creamy mouthfeel with elegant minerality, good balance and a seamless finish.

Food Matches

Enjoy chilled at any time of the day with good friends and good quality smoked salmon. Also excellent with a cream cheese and chive breakfast.
