Vineyards
Grapes for our Boekenhoutskloof Syrah are picked from select parcels of the finest Syrah grown at our Swartland farms, Porseleinberg (90%) and Goldmine (10%), close to the small town of Riebeek-Kasteel.
The delicate combination of these two properties allows for this expression of both concentrated and structured wines made from this Rhône grape.
Winemaking and Maturation
The Syrah grapes are hand-harvested into lug boxes and transported to Boekenhoutskloof in Franschhoek for vinification. Grapes are cooled and transferred to tulip-shaped concrete tanks for fermentation.
A combination of partially destemmed and whole-bunch (65%) clusters fermented spontaneously with minimal sulphur additions and no acidification.
Once maceration is complete, the skins are basket-pressed and gravity-fed into traditional 2 500L Austrian oak foudres and 600L demi-muids. Ageing of up to 18 months.
Tasting Notes
The nose is forthcoming and concentrated, with intense aromas of plums, violets and a sleek spiciness. The midpalate is pure, peppery and vibrant, with black and red fruits in abundance. Showing flavours of blueberries, dark liquorice, anise and earthiness. Sweet tobacco and black cardamom linger on a charry finish with subtle nuances of iron fer and tar.
