Producer Information

Boekenhoutskloof is one of South Africa's most prominent wine producers. Located in the Franschhoek Valley it is well-known for producing premium red wines from several regions.. The estate was established in 1776, and takes its name from the indigenous Cape Beech trees (boekenhout) which surround the property. It came under its current ownership in 1993, at which point the cellars and winery were revamped. The vineyard has approximately 20 hectares (50 acres) under vine, 75-percent of which is planted to red grape varieties. This includes Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Mourvedre along with the Chocolate Block varieties. White grapes planted at Boekenshoutskloof include Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. In 2009 Boekenhoutskloof acquired two sites in Swartland to produce a premium varietal Syrah. The dry-climate, rocky bedrock and schist-based soils here create ideal terroir for the production of intense and perfumed Syrah.
The range is led by a range of single-varietal wines named for the estate. These include a Swartland Syrah based on the Porseleinberg Vineyard, a pair of Cabernet Sauvignons from Franchhoek and Stellenbosch and a Fraschhoek Semillon fermented in barriques and concrete eggs.. The seven chairs on the distinctive wine label pay tribute to the skills of 18th and 19th century craftsmen, alluding to the hiostory of the estate.
