About this Item
Established in 1994 and with the first bottlings now already a quarter of a century ago, Boekenhoutskloof has achieved remarkable success over this period through supreme dedication to quality, sustainable farming and smart brand management. The result is a cemented position as one of South Africa’s top producers and a great investor’s pick in the top wines (which also includes Porseleinberg). Driven by the talents of Marc Kent and Gottfried Mocke, Syrah is the pick of the range, with critical acclaim from the early vintages, although Cabernet and Semillon follows closely.
Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon, containing 4% Cabernet Franc, was sourced from four individual parcels adjacent to one another in the Franschhoek Valley. 2015 was a great vintage in all respects, with harvest commencing one to two weeks earlier than usual.

‘Nicely rendered, with a brambly spine underneath a core of bright red currant, raspberry and plum fruit flavors. Enticing savory and mineral notes add range and energy throughout.'- James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (June 2018)
