La Boucher

Winery Description

Location and History

Set in the picturesque Stellenbosch district at the corner of Cor R44 and Kromme Rhee Road, La Boucher & Slaley Cellars benefits from the cooler climate and rich soils derived from ancient granite on the slopes of the Bottelary Hills. The winery's distinct location offers stunning views of Table Mountain, making it a perfect destination for wine enthusiasts. The Boucher family, with generations of farming heritage, has embraced winemaking as a passion, supported by the Els family. Since 2018, the two families have worked together, merging their love for the land and commitment to crafting exceptional wines that reflect the terroir. La Boucher's vineyards flourish under the influence of the nearby sea breeze, which helps to create a nurturing environment for their grape varieties. Their ideology balances family legacy and modern winemaking techniques, showcasing a deep respect for the land and the art of producing wine.
