Bovlei 2010 Pinotage - This delicious wine shows ripe dark plums with vanilla undertones. The soft rich tannis gives a full and long aftertaste.

Bovlei 2011 Sauvignon Blanc - This is a crisp and refreshing wine with tropical fruit flavours and a hint of grassy and green fig undertones. A well balanced Sauvignon Blanc with the fresh fruit and crispness carrying through on the palate.
 

 

        
 

Usually they say something like this; "So during harvest you work for three months REALLY hard, and then the rest of the year you don't do much?" My first reaction (in my head of course) is to give him/her a punch in the kidney, followed by a kick to the groin. But most of the times I control the monkey in me, and just say something like, Yip.

I believe that winemaking starts in the vineyards, and ends in the bottle. True, a big part of winemaking is the harvest and all the sleep deprivation that goes with it, but all winemakers will agree that winemaking is a ongoing process, it is a

live product, and one wrong step and you can have a wine during harvest that you think may win a medal or two, and a few months later the wine shows no character, because the winemaker forgot to give some love and attention to the wine!

Harvest 2011 is a thing of the past, but the rest of 2011 still needs to be dealt with, and hopefully the 2011 wines will find the homes of some our friends and families with laughter and fun in every glass!

Enjoy Bovlei wines, and remember, in every drop of wine there is a piece of the winemaker's soul.
Soos oudergewoonte, het Bovlei weer deelgeneem aan die jaarlike Oesfees, wat plaasgevind het vanaf 19 tot 21 Maart 2011. Aangesien ons "Okasie opi Stasie" van Oktober 2010 so 'n groot sukses was, het ons besluit om die tema oor te dra na die Oesfees, maar die keer het ons dit gedoen deur busse/taxi's wat al die gaste van die 1 plaas na die ander vervoer, met 'n glasie wyn natuurlik!   Die gaste het by Bovlei parkeer, waar hulle op 'n bus kon spring wat die roete van hulle keuse doen. So kon almal, veilig en sonder om te bestuur, al die plase se aktiwiteite bywoon.

By die kelder het ons vonkelwyn en oesters bedien, terwyl die meer avontuurlustiges Bovlei se unieke wyn "cocktails" kon probeer!
