Boekenhoutskloof Syrah

The Syrah shows intense depth of fruit with delicate texture and well-integrated tannins.

The nose is explosive with black fruit, raspberries and hints of blossom. A spicy, aromatic profile develops with some age.

The elegance and texture of this wine make it extremely accessible at an early stage.

Boekenhoutskloof

Das Weingut Boekenhoutskloof und die Landschaft wirken französisch. Es liegt in Franschhoek und ist eines der ältesten Weingüter mit hugenottischen Wurzeln. Auch die Weine erinnern an Frankreich, weil der Winzer Marc Kent einmal pro Jahr Frankreich besucht, um sich neu inspirieren zu lassen.

Auf 20 ha Rebfläche werden zu 25% Weißwein (Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon) und zu 75% Rotweine (Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc) angebaut. Die Temperatur ist im Jahresdurchschnitt durch den Seewind aus Südosten etwas kühler. Die Art der Böden auf dem Gut sind unterschiedlich: von tiefen Schwemmböden am Ufer des Flusses bis zu harten Lehmböden und verwittertem Granit.

Product recommendation

Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon
The Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant and powerful red wine from South Africa that impresses with its remarkable depth, structure and aromatic complexity. This red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc comes from organically farmed vineyards in Franschhoek. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand, rigorously selected and then fermented spontaneously in egg-shaped concrete tanks. The wine is matured in 95% new French oak barrels - a vinification process that gives the wine its elegant texture, velvety tannins and characteristic roasted aromas.In the glass, the wine is a deep purple red. From the very first whiff, it reveals a complex bouquet of dark berries, eucalyptus, graphite and herbs such as lavender and thyme. There are also nuances of liquorice, black tea and fine spices, which underline the aristocratic character of this Cabernet Sauvignon. On the palate, the wine is concentrated but never overloaded. The fruit is densely interwoven with a fine minerality, the acid structure is precise, the tannins ripe and supple. The wine lingers on the finish - with notes of cassis, mocha and a hint of leather.The Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon is an ideal accompaniment to aromatic, spicy meat dishes. It goes particularly well with rack of lamb with a herb crust, braised beef with rosemary or game dishes with a dark sauce. This wine also reveals its full potential with mature hard cheese and hearty vegetarian dishes such as mushroom risotto.

Boekenhoutskloof Porcupine Ridge Sauvignon Blanc
This Sauvignon Blanc from the Boekenhoutskloof estate shows a wonderfully fruity bouquet hinting of pineapple, papaya, kiwi fruit and apple blossoms. On the palate, this white wine from the Franschhoek valley is harmonious and round, with a lovely fullness and wonderful acidity. The finish shows notes of fresh apples. The vintage 2016 was dry. Nevertheless, with this Sauvignon Blanc the Boekenhoutskloof winery has once again succeeded in creating a wine that satisfies the most discerning tastes. The Boekenhoutskloof Porcupine Ridge Sauvignon Blanc was aged in stainless steel tanks and is an ideal accompaniment to light cuisine or simply on its own for those carefree, relaxing moments.

Boekenhoutskloof Semillon
Lively pear, citrus zest, freshly cut apple and blossom on the nose with attractive, wet stone, spiced oak and nutty undertones. An impressive structure underneath a lovely combination of stonefruit amongst others. The 13 months of lees contact lead to a rich, textured, broad and rounded mouth feel, yet appealingly fresh from the core acidity. With the lanolin and other tertiary flavours that will develop even more, this wine will be one of the most complex and balanced ever to be produced from these 106 year old vines.7% Sauvignon Blanc was blended in to enhance the vibrance and freshness.
