About this product

Crisp. Lively. A true expression of South African Chenin Blanc.
Boschendal 1685 Chenin Blanc is a celebration of South Africa’s most versatile white grape, offering a wine that is as lively as it is approachable. Grown in cool, coastal-influenced vineyards, the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to capture their natural freshness, bright acidity, and aromatic purity. Every bottle brims with orchard fruits, subtle floral notes, and a vibrant, citrus-laced finish, making it a wine that instantly delights the senses.

Crafted with care, this Chenin Blanc combines modern winemaking techniques with the estate’s centuries-long heritage. Stainless steel fermentation preserves the wine’s natural brightness, while gentle handling ensures balance, clarity, and a silky, approachable texture. The result is a wine that feels effortless yet expressive — lively enough to be enjoyed on its own, yet structured enough to complement a wide range of dishes.

For wine lovers in Ireland, Boschendal 1685 Chenin Blanc is perfect for every occasion — from casual midweek dinners to sunny weekend lunches or relaxed evening gatherings with friends. Its versatility, vibrancy, and food-friendly character make it a white that belongs on every table.

Why we love it:
A bright, fruit-forward Chenin Blanc packed with pear, apple, and subtle citrus. It’s crisp, refreshing, and endlessly versatile — perfect for casual drinking, paired meals, or entertaining in Ireland. Balanced, lively, and approachable, this Chenin delivers excellent value for its quality.
