Boekenhoutskloof6x Helderberg Winery Reserve 2022

About

Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making.

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.

Product Features

• He’s turned his attention to the Helderberg winery – a site that’s been producing wine for well over a century.
• Meaning ‘clear mountain’, the Helderberg’s fertile soils and ocean breezes make it an incredible spot to produce wine.
• He took over the property in 2011 – and it’s gone from strength to strength ever since.
• A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Syrah, this is another shining example of what happens when you pair idyllic South African vineyards with unrivalled expertise.
• Expect notes of red fruit, cassis, fig and clove with hints of liquorice.
