About DaschBosch
DaschBosch is uniWines' premium wine brand from the Breedekloof Valley, South Africa's largest wine-producing ward and home to over 65 grower-shareholders. Farmed on land granted by Cape Governor Rijk Tulbagh in 1754, DaschBosch channels more than 50 years of collective Breedekloof winemaking experience into a range built around old bush vines and single vineyards. Winemaker WS Visagie, trained in viticulture and oenology and seasoned at Bordeaux's Château Angélus, crafts three tiers — Popular Premium, Heritage, and Experimental — that push the region's Chenin Blanc, Hanepoot, Clairette Blanche, Cinsault, and Verdelho in unexpected directions, from a 90% Chenin/10% Muscat skin-contact wine to a bottle-fermented Verdelho Méthode Ancestrale. DaschBosch is also a member of the Breedekloof Makers Initiative, the valley's collaborative project spotlighting its old vineyards and championing Chenin Blanc, which accounts for 15% of all plantings in Breedekloof.
Who Is This For?
For explorers of South African Chenin Blanc who want old-vine, single-vineyard wines with genuine experimentation — from skin-contact blends to bottle-fermented Verdelho — grounded in Breedekloof's collective, multi-grower winemaking tradition.
