Unveiling the Boschendal Brut NV

A Captivating Cap Classique on the Palate

The first sip of Boschendal Brut NV is a delightful revelation. The palate seamlessly mirrors the enticing nose, offering a burst of zesty lemon and orange peel with a refreshing touch of minerality.

• Seafood Sensations: The citrusy notes and refreshing minerality of Boschendal Brut NV make it a perfect match for an array of seafood dishes. Seared scallops with lemon butter sauce, grilled prawns with a zesty herb dressing, or a classic fish and chips with tartare sauce are all guaranteed to tantalise the palate.
• Light Bites and Salads: For a lighter fare, pair the Boschendal Brut NV with fresh salads adorned with grilled chicken, shrimp, or halloumi cheese. The wine’s acidity beautifully cuts through creamy dressings, while the citrus notes complement the fresh salad ingredients.
