BOSJES Farm has established itself as a must visit destination in the Western Cape. From the curvaceous white roof of the glass-walled BOSJES Kapel (chapel) to the inspired country-style cuisine in the BOSJES Kombuis, this family-owned estate beneath the Waaihoek Mountains has become synonymous with heritage, style and a joyous celebration of the good things in life.
With the arrival of spring BOSJES Farm has added a vinous string to its bow, launching a unique range of BOSJES Wines available for visitors to the farm to enjoy.
Local pride runs deep on BOSJES, and true to the Farm’s passion for the surrounding area, all wines were sourced from leading local estates. But to hone this bespoke range of house wines, BOSJES Farm turned to the expert palate of Allan Mullins. A respected wine judge and Cape Wine Master, Mullins has one of South Africa’s most experienced palates when it comes to the art of blending wine.
With a brief to create six unique BOSJES wines from local producers, Mullins hit the road, tasting his way through a dozen cellars across the Breedekloof; sipping, swirling and sampling wines from the region’s established and emerging producers. Quality and value were two of the guiding principles for Mullins when it came to whittling down his final list of cellars.
The BOSJES House Red is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend that incorporates Shiraz, Pinotage and Merlot and a dash of Portuguese cultivar Touriga Nacional. The BOSJES House White has a foundation of Chenin Blanc which brings rich melon and peach flavours, while a healthy splash of Viognier adds vibrance to the bouquet and intriguing spiciness on the palate. Alongside the house blends BOSJES offers four single-cultivar wines, a Chenin Blanc, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Pinotage and a Cabernet Sauvignon – all showcasing the quality and diversity of winemaking in the valley.
The new range of BOSJES Farm wines are only available on the estate which includes weddings and other special occasions. The BOSJES Wines are priced from R90-R150 per 750ml bottle, with all available by the glass (R25-R40) at the BOSJES Kombuis.
BOSJES Kombuis opens for lunch only, from Wednesdays through to Sundays. Light treats are also served at the beautiful sunken garden of the BOSJES TeeTuin.
