Syrah 2015

Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2015 Boekenhoutskloof Syrah – område: Swartland; druer: Syrah; alkohol 13.9%. Producentens noter (engelsk): The Boekenhoutskloof Syrah is sourced from our two properties in the Swartland. We acquired these two sites (Porseleinberg and Goldmine) a few years ago, for their unique terroir of rocky bedrock and decomposed mica schist soils. This is our first vintage claiming “Wine of Origin Swartland” for this wine, and our blend comprises of 80% Porseleinberg and 20% Goldmine fruit. The fruit from each site is vinified separately as each parcel shows distinctive and individual characteristics. The grapes are partially de-stemmed and ferment spontaneously in tulip shaped concrete tanks with a soft délestage 2 - 3 times a day. Once cuvaison was completed, the wine was moved to large traditional 2 500L foudres and 600L demi-muids for a further 18 months of ageing.
