Nicolas is a blend brimming with character, each component - outstanding in its own right - together creates something exceptional. Shiraz, a signature variety for Boschendal, adds intrigue and depth with intriguing spicy notes, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot give classical structure, Malbec a beautiful deep colour and vibrant red fruit, while the Merlot enhances the fruit profile and Cabernet Franc elaborates on the spicy richness of the Shiraz.
The grapes were sourced from highly expressive vineyards, mostly from Stellenbosch, with a small percentage from Elgin region. Elgin, Helderberg and Faure are all high-lying, cool climate sites. These trellised vineyards' altitude, aspect and close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean yield fruit with a restrained classical elegance, good acidity and soft tannins. Vineyard practices are tailored for ultra-premium quality and grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness in the fresh early morning hours to ensure they reach the cellar in the most pristine state
