340 YEARS OF BOSCHENDAL
A legacy worth raising a glass to!
I was delighted to be invited to Boschendal’s 340th anniversary celebration on the farm.
One of the highlights?
Ringing the Cap Classique bell for bubbles – a tradition that never loses its charm.
Boschendal is one of South Africa’s oldest wine estates, founded in 1685. Over three centuries later, it remains a benchmark for quality and innovation. From crisp Cap Classique to rich reds, the wines continue to carry both heritage and modern finesse.
Walking through the Cape Dutch buildings and historic cellars, it’s easy to sense the weight of history. Yet Boschendal is no museum piece – it’s dynamic, sustainable, and forward-looking. The estate champions regenerative farming, biodiversity, and renewable energy, while still producing wines that stand confidently on the world stage.
For UK drinkers, Boschendal offers more than just a taste of South Africa – it’s a taste of continuity, resilience, and timeless style. Few wineries can say they’ve been raising glasses for 340 years.
