Boschkloof Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

Boschkloof Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot - Stellenbosch, South Africa

A classic Cape Bordeaux blend with a polished, modern edge, this opens with ripe blackberry, cassis and plum, layered with hints of cedar, tobacco leaf and a touch of cocoa. There’s a subtle herbal lift from bay leaf and a flicker of fynbos, adding freshness to the rich fruit core. The palate is full and smooth, with well-integrated oak bringing spice and structure, while firm but rounded tannins keep everything in balance. It finishes long with dark fruit, gentle earth and a savoury note that adds complexity.

Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot (typically Cabernet-led, ~70/30) 

Style: Medium to full-bodied red, structured, fruit-forward

Drink Window: Now – 6–8 years

A smart, well-priced Stellenbosch blend that delivers both richness and structure - easy to enjoy now, but with enough backbone to evolve nicely.
