Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Monica Larner - 26 Feb 26
The Boekenhoutskloof 2023 Franschhoek Semillon is delightful and unexpectedly fresh, offering a light mineral edge that immediately sets it apart. Stone fruit flavors are delivered with purity and restraint, supported by gentle brushstrokes of honey and a lovely, supple mouthfeel that brings quiet depth without weight. The wine draws from a remarkable collection of old vineyards (including the famed La Colline), including one of the Western Cape’s oldest Semillon plots planted in 1902, complemented by a sandy-soil vineyard planted in 1942 and a granite-based site established in 1956, together lending nuance and layered complexity.

Vinous Neal Martin - 02 Oct 25
The 2023 Sémillon comes from three vineyards, with the oldest vines planted in 1902 and 61% planted in 1936. Matured in 70% new French oak for 14 months, it has a glorious bouquet with yellow plum, jasmine and wax resin scents, beautifully defined. The palate has a fine line of acidity, bright and fresh, lovely texture with a pithy finish.
Drinking Date: 2026 - 2038

South Africa

South African wines blend Old World elegance with New World fruit-forwardness, offering diverse styles from regions like Stellenbosch, Paarl, and Franschhoek. The country is famous for Pinotage, a unique grape producing bold, earthy wines with dark berry and smoky notes. South Africa also excels in Chenin Blanc, both crisp and oak-aged. Stellenbosch is renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Top producers include Kanonkop (Pinotage), Hamilton Russell (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir), and Klein Constantia (Vin de Constance).
