Boekenhoutskoof Syrah Auction Reserve 2018
100% Syrah
Only two barrels made. One barrel sourced from a tiny, unique parcel grown on decomposed schist soils on our Porseleinberg vineyard and the other barrel from one of the best old vineyards in Stellenbosch. Spontaneous fermentation in concrete Nico Velo vats, 30% whole cluster and élevaged for 18 months in seasoned French barriques.
Tasting Notes: Complex nose with floral notes abound. Exceptional texture, indicative of its Swartland pedigree. Explosion of white pepper and spicy notes from the maritime-influenced Stellenbosch vineyard.
Drink now and until 2035.
Winemaker: Marc Kent
