Note di degustazione
The Boekenhoutskloof 2023 Franschhoek Semillon is delightful and unexpectedly fresh, offering a light mineral edge that immediately sets it apart. Stone fruit flavors are delivered with purity and restraint, supported by gentle brushstrokes of honey and a lovely, supple mouthfeel that brings quiet depth without weight. The wine draws from a remarkable collection of old vineyards (including the famed La Colline), including one of the Western Cape’s oldest Semillon plots planted in 1902, complemented by a sandy-soil vineyard planted in 1942 and a granite-based site established in 1956, together lending nuance and layered complexity.

The 2023 Sémillon comes from three vineyards, with the oldest vines planted in 1902 and 61% planted in 1936. Matured in 70% new French oak for 14 months, it has a glorious bouquet with yellow plum, jasmine and wax resin scents, beautifully defined. The palate has a fine line of acidity, bright and fresh, lovely texture with a pithy finish.
