2019 Boekenhoutskloof Stellenbosch Cabernet

Under the quiet, determined leadership of Marc Kent, the Boekenhoutskloof wine estate has become one of the preeminent names in South Africa. The Cabernet Sauvignon for this wine is sourced from selected vineyards on north-west facing slopes of the Helderberg mountain and a south-east facing slope of Vlottenburg. The mild, maritime influence from the cool False Bay coast, along with granitic soils, give this wine its hallmark minerality and graphite-like profile. Deep ruby colour, aromas are attractive and deep, with rich cassis, cedar and pencil lead aromas. This is full and luscious on the pallet, texture being creamy, flavours being powerfully concentrated. This is an impressive wine, with a long, fresh, suavely tannic finish.
