Region: Franschhoek

Tasting notes

Grapes were sourced from four parcels adjacent to one another on a SW aspect in the Franschhoek Valley, where the soil is predominantly sandy loam over granitic bedrock. The aroma is elegant, filled with raspberry and cranberry fruit – all the beautiful nuances in the red spectrum. Elegance on palate, beautifully balanced with superb dryness and length. Mature until 2025.

Region: Franschhoek  ( TIM ATKIN 94 )

Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout”. In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier.

The Story Of Seven Chairs

Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for making fine furniture. Our 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. Then there’s the Sandveld chair that has two back rails and a thonged seat which made its appearance in the second quarter of the 19th century. The transitional Tulbagh chair was made in the late 18th century, it has a plain back and a shaped top rail with half-round opening. The chairs on our 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.
