Product Details

Code: BOE002

Boekenhoutskloof is one of South Africa's most prominent wine producers, established in 1776. Located in the Franschhoek Valley it is well-known for producing premium red wines. The estate was established in 1776, and takes its name from the indigenous Cape Beech trees (boekenhout) which surround the property. 

Boekenhoutskloof label features seven chairs; amongst them the country-style split splat chair made in the neo-classical style with a shouldered top rail and thonged seat from the late 18th century. The chairs on wine label all pay tribute to the skills of the 18th century craftsmen and their achievements in creating beauty from natural sources, just like the pursuit of fine wine-making.

The nose is subtle, yet perfumed with its complex bouquet of red currant, dark cherries and blueberry and enticing whiffs of bergamot and cedar. Red and dark berry fruit follows through onto a medium-bodied palate with flavors of fresh fig and nutmeg. The mid-palate is focused, silky and poised with a charcoal-edged texture and very fine-grained tannins, with perfect acidity to balance. The wine lingers with hints of clove, crushed gravel and cocoa powder on a mineral-tinged, pure finish.
