About this product
Fresh. Elegant. Delicately balanced.
Boschendal 1685 Rosé is crafted from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, resulting in a wine that is both vibrant and refined. Bursting with red berry fruit and subtle floral nuances, it delivers bright freshness alongside a soft, silky texture. Light yet expressive, this Rosé is designed for immediate enjoyment — a perfect companion for relaxed lunches, casual dinners, or alfresco evenings.
Fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity and freshness, the 1685 Rosé captures the natural elegance of its grapes while maintaining crisp, lively acidity. Every sip showcases juicy strawberries, raspberry hints, and a whisper of citrus, culminating in a clean, refreshing finish. For wine lovers in Ireland, it is a bright, approachable alternative to heavier wines, equally at home on its own or alongside lighter cuisine.
With its balance of fruitiness and finesse, Boschendal 1685 Rosé embodies effortless elegance — approachable enough for everyday enjoyment yet polished enough to feel special.
Why we love it:
A lively and refined Rosé, bursting with red berry fruit and gentle floral notes. Soft, fresh, and versatile, it pairs beautifully with light dishes or can be enjoyed on its own in Ireland. Elegant yet approachable, it’s a wine that elevates any occasion.
