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
This wine exhibits enticing aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherries, and damson. On the palate, it is well-balanced, combining pure fruit flavors with a smooth, chocolatey texture and a hint of spice on the long finish. The medium to full body supports a remarkably juicy and fruit-forward profile in its youth, with the potential to develop further complexity over time.
Food Pairing
The rich and intense character of this Cabernet Sauvignon makes it an excellent match for hearty dishes such as grilled beef, venison, and other robust meats.
