Notes: This blockbuster Cabernet Sauvignon from one of South Africa’s oldest & most respected estates has established itself as one of the finest Cabernet’s from the renowned Stellenbosch region. The wine enjoys 18 months in French oak barrels, giving it a supple, smooth palate & delicious red fruits.  There is a dark, brooding nose of black fruits & cedar & the palate is smooth & intense, filled with dark cherry, forest fruits & vanilla oak notes. Another top wine from this famous estate & one which we are proud to be stockists of.

Producer Info: Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776 & is now run by legendary South African winemaker Mark Kent. The brilliance of its wines has never been in doubt. A winemaker whose ethos is rooted in French non-interventionist thinking, natural yeasts, minimal racking & impeccable vineyard work, Mark’s meaty, complex Syrah is perhaps his most famous wine, but his other wines are equally remarkable like the powerful Cabernet & the sensational Chocolate Block. These wines can be hard to find & quantities of the top wines are tiny.
