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 bold aromas of ripe brambles, mulberries, blackberries, and cassis. The palate is juicy with flavors of blueberries, plum sauce, and nuances of Cape fynbos, bay leaf, and pencil lead. Fine-grained tannins and integrated lemony acidity add structure and balance. The finish lingers with cocoa, dark chocolate, and oregano.
Food Pairing
Best paired with barbecued meats or rich, flavorful dishes due to its structure and complexity.
