About this Item

2012 Syrah
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

After nearly 2 decades at La Motte, Jacques Borman established family-owned Boschkloof in 1996 and built a reputation with these quality, structured, long-lived Stellenbosch reds, most notably Syrah, earning him a membership with the Cape Winemakers Guild. Around the turn of the last decade the arrival of his son Reenen onto the scene (also behind the successful Patatsfontein, Kottabos and Sons of Sugarland) saw the bar being raised even further, with many commentators tipping him as one to watch in terms of next generation Cape winemakers.

Critics Ratings

‘Opulent, darkly dense 2012 from small yield has New World structure, Old World complexity. Pepper, prosciutto, scrub, even violets, chocolate, layered & admirable. Also-tasted 2011, similar in style, so no accident, but bit firmer structure.’ – Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5*

‘Round and sweet. Slightly salty end. Slightly dry finish. Specialise in Syrah. Hot finish. Lively and honest.’ – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Feb 2015)
