The nose is fresh and inviting, with intense aromas of orange blossom, marmalade, and jasmine, accompanied by hints of potpourri, nettles, and beeswax. On the palate, pure flavors of tangerine, honeysuckle, and nectarine are complemented by notes of Cape fynbos, oregano, and chamomile, creating a multi-layered experience. The mid-palate is dry and richly textured, with a mouth-filling, lithe body and a vibrant, attractive mineral streak. The wine is precise and focused, yet elegant and smooth, with grapefruit, lemon curd, and lime lingering on a clean, slightly saline, mouthwatering finish. ​

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.
