Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch 2021
Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon is a structured and expressive red wine from Stellenbosch, South Africa, showcasing the hallmark richness and elegance of the region’s Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine reflects Boekenhoutskloof’s meticulous approach to vineyard management and winemaking, emphasising varietal purity, balance, and refined oak integration. Meet the producer Boekenhoutskloof, located in the Franschhoek Valley and parts of Stellenbosch, is one of South Africa’s most respected estates. Renowned for producing bold, elegant wines with complexity and ageing potential, the winery combines traditional practices with innovative techniques to craft wines that are deeply expressive of their terroir. Production Grapes are hand-picked at optimal ripeness to ensure concentrated flavours and precise tannin structure. After careful sorting, fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks with temperature control to manage extraction. The wine undergoes post-fermentation maceration to build structure and texture, followed by maturation in French oak barrels—most of which are new or first-fill—for 18 months to integrate tannins and develop complexity. Tasting notes Deep ruby in colour, the nose is rich with aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, cassis, and subtle notes of cedar, graphite, and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and layered flavours of ripe dark fruits, chocolate, and fine oak. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent. Food match Ideal with grilled or roasted red meats, lamb, game, or mature hard cheeses. Grape Cabernet Sauvignon 100%
Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2024
' Commencing with meticulous site selection and vineyard design in 1991, Felton Road's story is one of refusal to compromise. A strict 100% estate policy with fully organic and biodynamic viticulture (BioGro and Demeter certified) ensures that their fruit arrives at the winery as pure as it can be, while the entire estate comes as close to true sustainability as is possible. A commitment to hands off winemaking: gravity flow, wild yeasts, wild malo, an avoidance of fining and filtration all help preserve the wine's expression of its terroir. The result is Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which accurately express the authenticity and complexity of their unique vineyards. Felton Road is firmly established as one of the leading producers of Pinot Noir in the world and one of the most sustainable too. '
