About this Item
After nearly 2 decades at La Motte, Jacques Borman established family-owned Boschkloof in 1996 and built a reputation with these quality, structured, long-lived Stellenbosch reds, most notably Syrah, earning him a membership with the Cape Winemakers Guild. Around the turn of the last decade the arrival of his son Reenen onto the scene (also behind the successful Patatsfontein, Kottabos and Sons of Sugarland) saw the bar being raised even further, with many commentators tipping him as one to watch in terms of next generation Cape winemakers.
Critics Ratings
‘The 2016 Conclusion contains more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual, with the remaining 35% made up of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah. Much oakier than the Boschkloof Syrahs, this is also more tannic and compact, with smoky, chocolatey notes, some dark spices and the richness and concentration to age in bottle. 2022-31’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
‘Impressive 2016 has more cab than previous - 65%, with cab franc, merlot & a little syrah. Cedar & tobacco aromas promise savoury more than simply fruity, though sweetish, ripe flavours are there. More harmonious than the varietal wines, with well integrated tannins & 40% new oak. 14.1% alcohol.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (94/100)
