Vriesenhof Jan Boland Coetzee 2024

Bright Ruby in appearance with fresh red cherry aromas, touches of fennel and subtle oak spice on the nose. Ripe Merlot fruit provides rich, rounded mouthfeel, whilst Cabernet Franc contributes spicy aromatic notes. Fine-grained, chalky tannins contributed by Cabernet Sauvignon seamlessly mesh with barrel maturation flavours to provide depth and length to the finish.

Pizza, meat dishes or a great accompaniment for a braai – to be enjoyed with friends.

Situated on the foothills of Stellenbosch Mountain, Vriesenhof is recognized as one of the great terroirs of South Africa. Ancient river terraces and commanding mountain vistas provide the backdrop to our vines and beautiful hillside cellar. The Jan Boland Coetzee pays homage to the founder of Vriesenhof and embodies a lifetime of his observation and wisdom accumulated amongst the vines. The components are vinified separately, and the blend is assembled after 4 months.
