Boschendal The Pavillion Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon NV

An attractive blend with liberal lashings of dark red fruit aromas spiced up with subtle toasty vanilla oak tones. The palate is perfectly balanced and soft with a juicy dark berry centre capturing the friendly yet feisty side of a young Shiraz supported by the volume and intensity of the Cabernet Sauvignon.

All the vineyards were pruned to two-bud spurs during July - August and shoots were removed during October. Only two to three shoots were left per hand-spaced spur. After veraison, uneven bunches were removed for better flavour concentration.

Viticulturist’s Details
The grapes were picked from specifically selected vineyards on the slopes of the Simonsberg as well as from Stellenbosch and Agter Paarl areas where soils are typically derived from decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. 
about the harvest: The grapes were picked by hand and sorted in the vineyard to ensure that only healthy grapes are received at the winery.
