About this Item

2007 CWG Syrah Auction Reserve
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

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.

One barrel was vinified from the most exceptional Porseleinberg vineyard and was blended with the very best from an old vineyard in Stellenbosch.
Tasting note: Spicy notes with elegant violet and fynbos aromas. Ground pepper is evident on the palate with a complex texture and depth, bound together by focused tannins.
Auction Year: 2009

Critics Ratings

'A darker, broader version of the 2005. Smoky 07 bulges with berry fruit, smooth & velvety caress of 27 months seasoned French oak barrels. Dangerously easy to access in youth! ' - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2010, 4.5*
