Winery Boekenhoutskloof
Boekenhoutskloof was founded in 1776 and is therefore one of the oldest wineries in South Africa. The name comes from the farthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek Valley and means "Gorge of the Boekenhout" (pronounced: Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is a native Cape Beech highly valued for furniture making. In 1993, the winery was sold to introduce a new vineyard planting program, which now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon, and Viognier.
Tasting notes
The Syrah from Winery Boekenhoutskloof is an intense, dark-colored Syrah. With aromas of purple plums, violets, exotic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The Syrah is very precise, with a full body, grainy texture, and balancing acidity.
The wine from Boekenhoutskloof remains in the memory of every wine lover with its long-lasting spicy finish.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
