✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the iconic, elegant white pavilion that graces the historic Boschendal estate, this wine is crafted to capture the easy-going, vibrant spirit of the Cape. The Pavillion White is a classic Western Cape blend, typically marrying the rich, tropical fruit notes of Chenin Blanc with the crisp, herbaceous freshness of Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are sourced from selected vineyards across the Western Cape, where the cooling maritime breezes help retain natural acidity. This wine represents a modern, fruit-forward style designed to be approachable and highly refreshing, embodying the historic estate's commitment to quality in everyday drinking wines.
