Appellation Series

2012 Elgin Pinot Noir

The Boschendal Appellation Series 2012 Pinot Noir, hailing from the picturesque Elgin region, is a remarkable expression of this varietal. This red wine exhibits a vibrant ruby hue, reflecting its youthful character despite its age. It presents delightful aromas of ripe red berries, hints of spice, and a subtle earthiness that beckons you closer. On the palate, the wine reveals a graceful balance with a light-bodied structure, complemented by invigorating acidity that enhances the fruit's brightness. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel that allows the complex flavors to shine through. This Pinot Noir is impeccably dry, making it an exquisite food-friendly option that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes.

With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.
