About this Item
A 3 litre bottle of Boekenhoutskloof Syrah 2014
An extraordinary opportunity to own a rare large-format vintage from one of South Africa’s most revered cellars.
Crafted from exceptional vineyards in the Swartland and Wellington, this 2014 Syrah is a masterful blend of site and skill. With fruit drawn from Boekenhoutskloof’s famed Porseleinberg and Goldmine properties—known for their rocky, schist-laden soils—and their long-trusted Wellington vineyard, this wine captures the elegance and power that has become synonymous with the Boekenhoutskloof name.
Expect an expressive nose of violet florals, ripe dark plums, exotic spices and a whisper of white pepper. On the palate, the wine is plush and refined, bursting with layered fruit, hints of dark chocolate, and silky tannins that carry the wine through to a long, poised finish. Elegant yet generous, this is a wine that will continue to evolve beautifully over the next decade and beyond.
This rare 3-litre bottle is perfect for celebration or cellaring, and comes beautifully presented in a wooden box. A true collector’s item.
Proceeds support the Cape Winemakers Guild Protégé Programme, helping cultivate the next generation of South Africa’s winemaking talent.
