This Syrah comes from the Porseleinberg and Goldmine Vineyards and is partially destemmed and aged 18 months in 500- and 600-liter barrels. It offers a beautiful bouquet of blueberries, violets, crushed rocks and pepper to go with a medium to full-bodied, voluptuous, yet elegant style on the palate. With sweet tannin, beautiful purity of fruit, and a great finish, its another sensational Syrah from winemaker Marc Kent. Its certainly not far behind the more expensive Porseleinberg Syrah, has incredible character, and will drink nicely for at least a decade.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farms name means ravine of the Boekenhout (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for making fine furniture. 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 theres 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.
