Gold Mundis Vini award

Country: South Africa Region: Western Cape Vintage: 2021

Grapes: Cabernet/Merlot/Shiraz/Malbec

Producer: Boschendal

Description: The Nicolas takes its name from one of Boschendal's founding pioneers, Nicolas de Lanoy. He helped to lay an early foundation in the development of this iconic estate. Nicolas de Lanoy was a French Huguenot refugee who arrived at the Cape with his parents, Nicolas and Marie de Lanoy, in 1688.

Made from Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec grapes, each variety was selected for the separate yet complementary qualities each brings to the blend. This wine drinks like a premium Bordeaux from a great vintage. 

No expense has been spared in the production of this wine.

Tasting Note:
Generous, Focused fresh and minty, deep black fruit and riper vintage fruit expression with pepper spice. Richness and juiciness with a round, integrated fruit core and silky ripe tannins. Shows elegant freshness and length with lingering fruit on the finish. Awesome!
