Cellar for up to 14 years. No need to decant before serving.

Winemaker Marc Kent has helped put Franschhoek on the map for premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah thanks to his vision and deep understanding of the local terroir. Boekenhoutskloof is headquartered in a charming old farmhouse that was built back in 1776 on the edge of the Franschhoek valley, but it was only in 1993 that the modern winery was established here and the vineyards planted.

This stunning Cabernet is a great example of Marc’s winemaking flair, crafted from top quality fruit from four parcels planted on sandy loam soils on the Franschhoek estate. Marc’s intention with this bottling was to create a classic Bordeaux-style wine while still showcasing the beauty of the Franschhoek fruit. Grapes were vinified gently using manual harvesting, a cold maceration in concrete tanks and ageing in traditional 225 litre oak barrels.

The result is a dark and brooding Cabernet that opens with opulent cassis, blueberry and dark cherry notes along with cigar box and tobacco leaf. The palate offers a well-rounded texture, firm tannins and a full body with plenty of luscious dark fruit flavours which linger on the tongue. This is a wine with great ageing potential, although it can also be enjoyed now with dishes like barbecued ribs, steak, or fresh pappardelle pasta served with a wild boar ragu.
