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
‘Aromatic perfumed fantail of floral pot-pourri, red fruit and ground pepper. More Northern-Rhone in make up than its immediate more bulky predecessors, although it is by no means less generous or plush. Perfect drinking condition.’ – Higgo Jacobs 2020, 94/100
‘Red-ruby. Northern Rhone-like aromas of raspberry, pepper, smoked meat and woodsmoke. Intensely flavored, vibrant and firm, with raspberry, smoked meat, iron, mocha and tobacco notes. Very suave, juicy syrah, finishing with fine tannins and impressive length.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, 90/100 (2003)
