Boschendal Chenin Blanc

Boschendal Chenin Blanc

The grapes are sourced from a selection of site-specific locations ranging from the foothills of the Helderberg, Polkadraai and Faure areas in Stellenbosch. Predominantly planted on weathered granite soils. Here the vines are exposed to the elements of the cooling sea breezes in the afternoon from False Bay. This has a tremendous effect on the quality as it allows for longer ripening time whilst maintaining the natural grape acidity resulting in increased longevity. The average vineyard age ranges from 12 to 28 years and are between 100 – 250m above sea level resulting in yielding fruit with remarkable purity and classical elegance.
