About this Item
Boekenhoutskloof, located in the Franschhoek valley, was established in 1776 and gets its name 'Boekenhout' from an indigenous Beech tree. Boekenhoutskloof, managed by Marc Kent, describes themself as a Syrah specialist. Their efforts in conservation can be seen through initiatives they have taken-on in their farm and surrounding areas. They are also a founding member of the Franschhoek Mountain Conservancy.
Grapes for the Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon are picked from individual vineyards planted adjacent to one another, grown from deep alluvial soils of the valley, and from Boekenhoutskloof own farm vineyards,

Critics Ratings
'Densely layered, with flavors of red currant preserves, raspberry paste and bitter plum coulis. Stays refined, as fine-grained tannins and subtle cedar and singed vanilla notes are nicely embedded throughout. Reveals a pretty flash of iron at the very end. Best from 2018 through 2024.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Jun 2018)
'Adds origin to name. Delicacy & power commingle on 2014, mostly brought-in Valley fruit, splash home-farm cab franc. Brooding black cherry, cassis & cocoa are harmoniously supported by all-new French oak, down from 2013’s 25 months to 18. Velvety & refined.' - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
