Tasting Tips
From a single vineyard in Franschhoek. Wild fermented and spends 27 months in barrels, all of which have been used. Dark nose: sweet and slightly meaty with a black olive note. Nice freshness. The palate is quite supple showing elegant spicy fruit. Expressive and fresh with good structure
Winery
The name "Boekenhoutskloof" comes from the Cape beech, or Kaapse boekenhout, a tree indigenous to Franschhoek and once used by the Cape Dutch for furniture making. It is pronounced, not easily, bok-un-hoatscloof. The winery''''s white-washed, Dutch-style farmhouse, dated 1771, once stood in an orchard; pears still plump up in the trees around it.
