Barolo DOCG 'La Morra', Enzo Boglietti 2021
Enzo Boglietti and his brother Gianni switched from dairy farming in the late 1980s to wine production, using the 3ha of vines belonging to Enzo’s grandfather. A further 19ha have been inherited through Enzo’s mother. A leading modernist in the early 90s, Enzo was an exponent of smaller, newer barriques, and shorter, warmer fermentations, giving the wines rich, fruit-driven profiles with softer tannins. Sourced from Boglietti’s holdings across La Morra's top sites including parcels in Fossati, Case Nere, and Boiolo, the ‘La Morra’ is a beautifully composed blend that captures the essence of the commune. " Readers who have not tasted these wines in some time owe it to themselves to do so, as quality has exploded in the last few years. " Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon Franschhoek 2022
Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon from Franschhoek is an exceptional example of South African Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the estate’s meticulous approach to vineyard management and winemaking. The grapes are grown on the region’s well-drained, decomposed granite and shale soils, which provide a mineral backbone and excellent drainage, producing grapes with concentrated flavours and refined tannins. The vineyard’s elevation and cool Franschhoek breezes contribute to slow, even ripening, preserving the wine’s natural acidity and aromatic complexity. Meet the producer Boekenhoutskloof is a pioneering winery in the Franschhoek Valley, known for combining traditional South African winemaking with careful innovation. The estate is celebrated for producing terroir-driven wines that balance power with finesse, offering both immediate appeal and the potential for long-term cellaring. Production Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal phenolic ripeness to ensure maximum flavour development. A thorough sorting process guarantees that only the finest berries are used, minimising any vegetal or unripe notes. Fermentation takes place in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with gentle extraction techniques to achieve a balance between structure and elegance. Extended post-fermentation maceration enhances the wine’s depth and mouthfeel. The wine is matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, of which a significant proportion is new or first-fill, to integrate the oak seamlessly and enhance the wine’s complexity without overwhelming the fruit character. Tasting notes The wine exhibits a deep ruby core with garnet hues at the rim. The bouquet is rich and layered, with intense aromas of blackcurrant, ripe black cherry, and cassis, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite, tobacco, and subtle spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, offering silky, well-integrated tannins and a lively acidity that balances the richness of the fruit. Flavours of dark
