Boekenhoutskloof - Cap Maritime, Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley 2020 - 2022 Vertical
This lot from Cap Maritime, Boekenhoutskloof Winery’s expedition into the Hemel-en-Aarde, specifically the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
This Pinot Noir and Chardonnay-focussed endeavour is spearheaded by winemaker Gottfried Mocke. Two bottles of each; Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from vintages 2020, 2021 & 2022, the lot includes multiple Platter’s Guide 5-Star wines. Gottfried follows a traditional winemaking philosophy using only concrete tanks and native yeasts during fermentation, with a slightly longer élevage in Burgundian oak barrique and foudre. His preference to accentuate texture and perfume characters over the opulence of primary fruit, are a hallmark of his wines.
This 12-bottle wooden case includes:
• 2 x Cap Maritime, Pinot Noir 2020
• 2 x Cap Maritime, Chardonnay 2020
• 2 x Cap Maritime, Pinot Noir 2021
• 2 x Cap Maritime, Chardonnay 2021
• 2 x Cap Maritime, Pinot Noir 2022
• 2 x Cap Maritime, Chardonnay 2022
