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
‘A beautiful earthiness together with some meaty notes and savoury compote notes are supported by good lifted aromas, on a wine that has entered its drinking window. The palate has lovely ripe fruit sweetness, a hint of plums, and is very much in a Southern Rhone style.’ – James Pietersen 2020, 90/100
‘Bright red-ruby. Wild, meaty aromas of black raspberry, smoke, iron and pepper. Juicy and intensely flavored, with compelling sweetness; not especially dense but lovely vinosity gives clarity to the flavors of dark berries, violet, leather and meat. I like this wine Old World texture and weight, not to mention its accurate varietal character. Finishes dense, sappy and long.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, 90/100 (2002)
