Boekenhoutskloof Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

1 rating
 
 

The nose is delicate, slightly dusty and very alluring with ample dark fruit, graphite and pencil lead aromas and hints of sandalwood, tobacco, anise and bay leaf creating complexity. The palate is so smooth and lithe with layers of juicy blueberry and classic cassis flavours balanced with smoky, earthy nuances. The wine is juicy and supple with attractive acidity to balance and enough fullness and complexity on the mid-palate. It is classic in style, pliant and opulent, yet textured and elegant with its lush, smooth, cocoa-powdery tannin structure. The finish is long and herbaceous with beautiful, focused cedar oak nuances – a mouth-watering wine with finesse and class.

Boekenhoutskloof was founded in 1776. The name of the farm, located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, means "Boekenhout Gorge" - Boekenhout is a native Cape beech that is highly prized for furniture making. In 1993 the farm and estate was purchased and restored and a programme of planting new vineyards was established.
