Tasting Tips
Fresh berry flavours and a fine white pepper ness add a spicy profile to the nose. This is a wine of elegance and linearity. The palate seems almost seamless with the soft approachable tannins rounding off the mouth feel. Maximum ageing potential of 8 years. This is a blend of Syrah (55 percent); Grenache noir (20 percent); Cabernet Sauvignon (16 percent); Cinsault (5 percent) and Viognier (4 percent)
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.
