Franschhoek, South Africa
A rich, dense-fruited, succulent Syrah but very well balanced, almost Rhone-like. It shows blackcurrant, dried cranberries and some white pepper all wrapped up in lovely fine tannins. A great pairing with rich lamb and venison dishes.

Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making.
In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier.
