Semillon

Vibrant aromas of orange blossom, lemongrass, and beeswax open the 2022 Semillon from Boekenhoutskloof. On the nose, subtle notes of smoky minerality, black olives, licorice, and ripe plums complement each other. On the palate, the wine displays a refreshing citrus note that unfolds into more complex, nutty facets. The grapes come from vineyards over 80 years old in the Franschhoek Valley, where modern winemaking techniques meet. A small percentage of Muscat adds further depth and complexity.

The Winery

Boekenhoutskloof

Boekenhoutskloof was founded as early as 1776 in the "farthest corner" of the beautiful Franschhoek Valley. The "French Corner" (Franschhoek) has preserved much of the French way of life, and thus the wine cultivation is also based on French roots.

The name "Boekenhoutskloof" means something like "ravine of the Cape beeches" and was then also made famous under this name by winemaker Marc Kent.

The most well-known grape variety is the Syrah grape, but Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon, and Viognier are also part of the portfolio.
