Varietal Blend:
62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 10% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc
Vinification and Maturation Process:
The grapes were handpicked and crushed into stainless steel fermenters, and the must was cold soaked overnight. Fermentation began naturally, and the must was then inoculated with selected yeasts and fermented until dry. After pressing, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in tank and was then blended and racked to 225 liter French oak barrels (new and second fill) for 18 months of aging. It was lightly fined and filtered before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
This supple Bordeaux blend was created by the legendary Mike Dobrovic as a tribute to Boes (“Bushy” in Afrikaans), the loyal dog who kept watch over Mulderbosch farm for nearly three years after his owner’s death, waiting beneath an oak tree for the return of his beloved master. Enticing aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry, coffee, and spice lead to intense flavors of ripe plum, blackberry, and licorice enhanced by signature Bordeaux notes of tobacco, forest floor and graphite.
