Noble Late Harvest 2014

Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2014 Boekenhoutskloof Noble Late Harvest – område: Franschhoek; druer: Sémillon; alkohol 11%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Grapes were hand-picked in mid-May from our 0.96 ha Semillon vineyard which was planted at Boekenhoutskloof in 1997. This unique vineyard is situated on the banks of the Franschhoek River and has the perfect meso-climate for the proliferation of Botrytis cinerea. A careful selection process with several successive tries is done in our vineyard to select noble rot grapes as botrytis infected bunches are paramount in making great Noble Late Harvest. Whole bunches were carefully placed in our JLB basket press and traditionally fermented for approximately 5 to 7 weeks in four first-fill Chateaux barriques. Thereafter, the wine was matured on its gross lees for 30 months prior to bottling. -
