This Helderberg-sourced Cabernet is a glossy, succulent, more expressive wine than its stablemate, and it is also more forward and approachable. Built with unerring precision, the amazing brightness of fruit and 60% new oak embellishment have resulted in a Super Tuscan-shaped wine with obvious allure and a more approachable temperament. Having said this, it has more than enough stuffing to last a decade with ease, and in terms of value for money, this is a small price to pay for a wine of this integrity. -Matthew Jukes 18.5/20

Boekenhoutskloof is one of the most celebrated of all South African wineries and was voted. Winery of the Year 2012 by the influential South African journalist John Platter. Created in 1776 and situated in a remote corner of the beautiful Franschhoek Valley, the estate‘s MORE recent fame dates only from 1993 when new owners completely restored the vineyard and established new plantings of varietals such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Viognier. The driving force here is Technical Director and Managing Partner Marc Kent, a maverick genius with an unwavering commitment to the highest quality in all he does.
