About this Item
Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776 and since it’s modern era makeover in 1993 it has been under the guidance of maverick spirit, Marc Kent. Unafraid to experiment with the unconventional, Marc is the chief winemaker and driving force behind the dynamic farm, co-founded by the similarly innovative late Tim Rands.
Critics Ratings
‘Youthful colour suggests a wine that is 10 years younger, still showing a green tone. The freshness continues in the lively, green-fruited aromas that include Granny Smith, fresh lime and peach kernel. Although the palate is broad and complex, with an added layer from the new oak, the most remarkable characteristic is the mouth-watering verve. This almost has a cool-climate like focus, luminated by an acid spine that will keep going for another decade.’ – Higgo Jacobs 2020, 95/100
‘First impression is French oak, then a creamy, honeyed citrus depth. Amazing concentration. Penetrating and long and rich but not fat. Embryonic.’ – Julia Harding MW, Jancisrobinson.com, 17.5/20 (2012)
