Boekenhoutskloof
Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making. In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Grenache Semillon and Viognier.
Description
The 2013 vintage is characterized by rich dark fruits, with layers of blackcurrant, plums, and hints of cedar and tobacco. The wine also offers subtle notes of green pepper and graphite, leading to a savory complexity and a long, refined finish.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with rich meats such as beef or lamb, especially when served with roasted vegetables or a red wine reduction.
