We’ve had a bottle of this in the cupboard for a while, waiting for an autumn day. Guess what’s being drunk this weekend!
Our pick this week:
Boschendal Nicolas Red Blend
R229.99, Woolworths
Why we love it:
Boschendal’s Nicolas blend is a tribute to the farm’s storied past and one of its original characters, Nicolas de Lanoy – lover of land, laughter and good wine.
The blend brings together cabernet, shiraz, merlot and more in a seamless, spice-laced pour. Expect plush dark berries, black cherry and a whisper of dark chocolate – all wrapped in velvety tannins. This is unquestionably a classic worth revisiting.
