Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2015 Boekenhoutskloof Noble Late Harvest – område: Franschhoek; druer: Sémillon; alkohol 11.7%. 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. Winemaking Philisophy (Vinification & Winemaker's Comments) A meticulous 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 three first-fill Chateaux barriques. Thereafter, the wine was matured on its gross lees for 30 months prior to bottling.
