BOLAND CELLAR RECEIVE
PRESTIGIOUS

INTERNATIONAL

 AWARD

Boland Cellars’ commitment to exceptional quality was recognised at the London International Wine Fair when they won the Supply Chain Partner of the Year Award from JF Hillebrand, leading global beverage logistics provider.

Situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands, Boland Cellars produce close to 2,6-million litres of wine per annum, with approximately 57% exported to key international markets. They joined JF Hillebrand’s innovative Supply Chain Management (SCM) programme in 2007, and by the following year had shipped in excess of 120 000 cases through the programme.

Jean du Toit, managing director of Boland Cellars emphasises how imperative it is to maintain current customers and explore new markets.

“To achieve this, we need to grow in both volume and perceived value proposition, by exploring innovative alternatives. The SCM programme helped to optimise our internal operations, providing better planning and management of the production and bottling of stock.”

Rob Turvey, Managing Director of JF Hillebrand SCM, congratulated Boland: “Over the last year, they have consistently delivered against all customer demand in full and on time.” For more information, visit www.bolandwines.co.za

WHAT’S IN A NAME
A fresh new look for Boland, but behind the label, of course, some things never change...

With years invested in perfecting our wines, it’s now time to let the Boland Cellar packaging reflect this. The Five Climates wines offer a speciality for every discerning wine lover.

The French derived concept of ‘terroir’ denotes the marriage between soil, grape and climate of particular territories. But in the New World almost everyone can theoretically claim superior terroir since there is no regulation over this. We, therefore, focus on the merits of what we call ‘regionality’.

Our story of the perfect combination of grapes, sunlight and soil is told through the new Boland Cellar Five Climates Single Varietal range.
The core of our grape supply is found just to the north of Stellenbosch, bordered by Wellington, the Drakenstein and Franschoek ranges, the coastal winegrowing districts of Durbanville and Philadelphia, and Swartland. For more than six decades we have been working in the Paarl region, allowing our viticulturists to isolate five different climatic zones with unique soils and aspects. We achieve product differentiation on the basis of the added complexity gained by masterful blending of wines from the different zones.

Boland Cellar received one of 35 gold medals at Syrah du Monde 2009

Boland Cellar’s 2009 harvest began on a very important date historically, 2 February 2009, exactly 350 years after Jan van Riebeek harvested his first grapes at the Cape of Good Hope. A high tempo kept pace for the full duration of the 21 853 tonne harvest, with numerous records set.

• Most loads received on one day at Northern Paarl Cellar: 135 loads (128 loads in 2004 and 2007)
   
• Least loads ever: one load on the last day at Northern Paarl.
   
• Highest grape tonnage on one day at Northern Paarl: 816 tons (previous record 730 tons – 2008). This record was broken a week later with 875 tons of grapes on one day.
   
• Highest total daily intake of grapes: 1 202 tons of grapes spread over two cellars (previous record 1,131 ton – 2008). The previous record was broken four times over two weeks during the 2009 harvest.
   
• Shortest harvest period yet: 30 days (previous record: 35 days in 2002 with a crop size of 13 200 tons).
   
• Daljosafat Cellar received the most grapes in one year: 7 914 tons as opposed to 7 506 tons in 2008.

With espresso and mocha notes rising from this rich bouquet, you might well find yourself replacing the coffee pot and reaching for the new CAPPUPINOCCINOTAGE.

A Pinotage with depth (Pinotage with a kick of its own), imparting the decadent flavours of freshly ground coffee beans, cocoa and Albany chocolate.

An expressive wine with ripe fruit flavours, showing earthy varietal character. Attractive savoury undertones are in perfect harmony with smooth oak tannins. Unfiltered and naturally fermented.
