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 presents a well-defined bouquet reminiscent of Bordeaux, with notes of black fruit and subtle pencil lead nuances. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, displaying impressive tension and a slightly chalky-textured finish.
Food Pairing
The structured profile and rich flavors of this Cabernet Sauvignon make it an excellent match for hearty dishes such as grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses.
