We at Boschendal are proud to share that the Boschendal Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 has been awarded the Investec Trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon at this year's prestigious Investec Trophy Wine Show.
The Trophy Wine Show is one of South Africa's most stringently judged wine competitions and a premier platform for the country's finest wines. Now in its 24th iteration, 650 wines were entered this year. 303 of these wines won a bronze medal, 133 silver, and 40 gold. Only 23 wines won trophies.
Crafted from exceptional Helderberg vineyards, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold expression of Stellenbosch terroir – where time-honoured tradition meets nature's finest conditions.
Aromas of ripe black cherry and cassis, pencil shavings, cigar box accents, and spice make an enticing entry, and linger onto the palate, where chalky tannins and a rich, textured mouthfeel also become noticeable. A well-structured, powerful, and undeniably elegant wine that offers a new discovery at every sip – a true terroir icon.
A heartfelt thanks to our cellarmaster and red wine hero, Jacques Viljoen, and the winemaking team for their dedication to mastering Boschendal’s craft.
