Vin D'Or: a golden nectar from the vineyards of Franschhoek, South Africa

Vin D'Or Noble Late Harvest 2021 by Boschendal: A golden nectar from the vineyards of Franschhoek, South Africa

Boschendal is a winery that, since 1685, has been located in the valleys of the Cape Floral Kingdom, an area of ​​the Franschhoek region in South Africa internationally recognized for its rich biodiversity.

Vin D'Or Noble Late Harvest is a naturally sweet South African wine that was born as a tribute to the beauty of waiting and the poetry of “noble rot”. The name “Noble Late Harvest” tells the story of the production process itself: the Viognier and Weisser Riesling grapes are left on the vines until late ripening, when Botrytis – a noble rot – envelops the bunches, reducing the water and sublimating the sugars. This natural process leads to a concentration of sugars and aromas , giving life to a sweet, dense wine that explodes with refined flavours and aromas. Waiting for this slow ripening is a process that requires time, courage and experience: almost a game of chance with nature.
