Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2007 Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon – område: ikke angivet; druer: Cabernet Sauvignon; alkohol 14.4%. Producentens noter (engelsk): These sandy north-facing slopes were planted with the CS14 and CS163 clones in 1991. In 2007 the Cabernet Sauvignon was picked on 4 different days over a period of 17 days. After 5 days of cold maceration the primary fermentation was started with a selected yeast from Anchor, WE 372. Delestage and mainly remontage (depending on the phenolic ripeness of the batch) was done 3 times per day for just under 2 weeks. The temperatures during fermentation are slightly higher than with the Syrah and peaks at 31-32°C. 100% new French oak (Sylvain) is used for the Cabernet Sauvignon ensuring the structure and depth of fruit to support 27 month of maturation in oak.
