2021 Boekenhoutskloof Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon
Hand-picked from two neighbouring vineyards, rooted in deep alluvial soils within the valley. The granite slopes, our showcase the unique Bo-hoek district. These "home farm" vineyards, have been managed organically for 13 years, and yield exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc fruit year after year.
The wine displays a sophisticated complexity and extraordinary grace. This particular vintage is renowned for its petite berries, characterised by a decreased skin-to-juice ratio, outstanding quality, and significantly reduced yields.
"Boekenhoutskloof's Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon is picked two weeks later than its Stellenbosch stable mate and is a fresher, more refined wine. Benefitting from the inclusion of 12% Cabernet Franc from the vines around the winery, it has aromas of graphite, violet and eucalyptus, palate-caressing, granular tannins and red berry and blackcurrant leaf flavours. 2024-35" - 96 Points: Tim Atkin MW
"Lovely spicy fragrance of thyme, licorice and clove to the dark berry fruit. Full-bodied, deep and polished, with sturdy tannins. Spicy and muscular. Cabernet sauvignon with 14% cabernet franc. Try from 2024." - 94 Points: James Suckling
Tasting Note: The scent is delicate and alluring, yet intricately sophisticated, with its traditional dark fruit undertones, graphite, and an appealing herbaceous quality, while also revealing splashes of intricate exotic spices. Lively, with stunning blue fruits lingering. Notes of blackcurrant, red liquorice, fresh fig, and traces of clay dust and leather add depth to this precisely crafted, seamless wine with enticing tension. Medium to full-bodied, it boasts a refreshing acidity and supple, cocoa-powdered tannins. The finish is poised, with hints of pencil lead and spiced French oak that linger flawlessly.
