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 a complex bouquet with subtle notes of cranberry and grounded black pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, and hints of oak, complemented by fine tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and refined.
Food Pairing
This versatile wine pairs excellently with rich, meaty dishes such as grilled lamb, beef stews, and game meats. It also complements aged cheeses and hearty vegetarian dishes.
