Boekenhoutskloof 2020 Red Blend: A South African Masterpiece

Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the prestigious Franschhoek Valley in South Africa, this 2020 red blend by Boekenhoutskloof is a testament to meticulous winemaking. A harmonious fusion of 84% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, and 1% Viognier, it embodies the terroir’s unique character while showcasing the winemaker’s artistry.

Aromatic & Flavor Profile:
Dive into a sensory journey with an intense, dark nose brimming with black fruit aromas, violets, and a hint of pepper. Subtle notes of cured meat, dried coriander, and tar add complexity. On the palate, expect a rich tapestry of flavors: licorice, black olives, and cardamom mingle with cranberry, red currant, and clove. The mid-palate is full-bodied and smooth, with supple tannins and integrated acidity that balance the wine’s power. A touch of sweet tobacco and spicy undertones from subtle oak aging elevate the experience.

Finish & Pairing:
The wine lingers with a smoky, slightly charry finish that remains juicy and refreshing. Ideal for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts.
