Winemaker at Boschendal: Jacques Viljoen
Since 2018, Jacques Viljoen has shaped the style of Boschendal’s wines as Cellar Master. Before joining Boschendal, he gained almost two decades of experience at Zevenwacht and also worked alongside renowned winemakers in France. Today, he uses this experience to combine traditional winemaking with modern methods at Boschendal. As the winemaker responsible for the red wines, Jacques places particular emphasis on precise harvesting decisions, grape quality and a clear, elegant style. He is supported by a specialised team: Danielle Jacobs is responsible for the Cap Classique wines, while Michael Langenhoven oversees the white wines. Together, they aim to create classic, balanced wines with good structure and a distinct Boschendal character.

What our Customers think
Boschendal with a history dating back to 1685
Boschendal is one of South Africa’s most historic wine estates, with a history dating back to 1685. Today, the estate combines this long winemaking tradition with modern cellar technology and a clear focus on quality, origin and sustainable agriculture. Across the expansive estate, historic buildings, vineyards, gardens and agricultural land come together, making Boschendal one of the best-known wine estates in the Cape Winelands. The portfolio ranges from fresh white wines and elegant Cap Classiques to characterful red wines such as Nicolas and Black Angus.
Boschendal wines with impressive diversity
Boschendal offers a versatile portfolio that reflects a wide range of styles and grape varieties from the South African wine world. The well-known 1685 Range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Merlot, Shiraz and Pinotage, among others. In addition, Boschendal produces high-quality Cap Classiques as well as premium wines such as Nicolas, Black Angus, Elgin Chardonnay and Heritage Grande Syrah. The range therefore extends from fresh, approachable wines to complex, structured premium wines with excellent ageing potential.
Boschendal combines wine, nature and enjoyment
A visit to Boschendal offers far more than traditional wine tastings. Guests can sample the wines at the Werf or Cellar Door, enjoy seasonal picnics or explore the expansive estate on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback. There are also restaurants, accommodation, farm experiences and a variety of activities for families. At the same time, Boschendal follows a clear regenerative approach to agriculture and is committed to healthy soils, biodiversity and the sustainable development of the estate as a whole. In this way, Boschendal brings together winemaking, nature, cuisine and history to create a particularly diverse experience in the Cape Winelands.
